  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The whole race went poorly. I don't think I did too bad, but much worse than anticipated. The heat and humidity had a lot to do with that. This was the same course as my first even on 9/27/2007. I compared numerous peoples times with the Sep 2007 and this one. In ALL instances, the comparision showed anywhere from 3 minutes to more than 10 minutes slower for the Sprint Duathlon. I still know I could have done better even with the heat, but factoring in the heat obviously slowed us all down. HFP comments. Long lines at check-in pushed back the start times on an already very hot day. Numerous people were complaining about not being told where to go when near the T zones. Even as I approached the dude directing race traffic I had to motion which way to go before the waved throught the correct place. A couple other guys went the wrong way and complained afterward. The food station for post race was kind of bare. There were plenty of police at intersections keeping things safe.
