Race Reports for Burrito Union 10 Hour Triathlon

Race rating (5)

Comments: Some misc thoughts/notes: - We were well hydrated. Between the two of us, we made many, many trips to the bathroom. Neither of us even drank much of anything on the last time through. - Peanut butter and jelly sandwiches--yummy! - Orange Heed--not so yummy (tastes like baby aspirin) - Some of those solo racers are just machines, particularly the guy that won. He finished the course seven times, and he quit before the 9 hour mark since he had the win solidly in the bag at that point. He easily had time to finish it again if he had wanted to. Incredible. This race was really well done given it was it's first year. The RD is the same guy that does the Brewhouse race (and in my opinion looks like David Lee Roth), so he certainly has plenty of experience, but a new event is usually a little rough at times. This one was pretty darn good overall, and the venue was just beautiful. I highly recommend doing this race if you get the chance. There will surely be many, many more people in it

Comments: my splits are guesstimates, since i didn't do splits on my watch, and we were only timed for out total lap (so, one spint course). took a LOT of time in transitions. my overal time was almost exactly 5 hours. this race would get a 5 if it were not for the price and the lack of flexibility with refund/registration transfer. Then again, it does go ALLLLLLL day long...and i had a ton of fun doing it with Kelly (miss 'i'll never do more than a sprint' who then did 3 in ONE DAY!') i'd do it again for sure. didn't go too balls to the wall because i wanted to keep my pace easy both so that i could continue to do laps as needed, and since i knEW I'd have my first roller derby league practice the next day and didn't want DOMS or shin splints. today - i can tell i did something, but am really not that sore. we were 3/5 for the female 2-person team. 9/15 for the 2-person teams (including all female, all male, and co-ed). and 22/31 for teams in general (including 2-person and 3-person). 30/59
