  • Comments: First time ever I finished out of the top 2 but waited for the award ceremony since the results listed me 3rd. Then after an hour of waiting my name was not called for third. Posted results were wrong and I got 4th. This was my 8th event and the first to announce winners and the first time I was out of the top three - thats how things go I guess. Salt in my wound was waiting the my boys for one hour to be dissapointed after raised expectations. Good marshalling, but they seemed to be in the way at times. One competitor spoke of being blocked by the motorcycles. I felt the same way four times. Twice, I was able to pass the motorcycle and twice they accelerated out of my way. Once stretch they repeatedly slowed and then accelerated as I gained on them. Marshals need to be on the course IMO but maybe they should get better trained drivers.

  • Comments: Excellent run and bike course. Overall, very good race for me. Temp was 80 degrees and going up at start of race. Did better with hydrating this race. Heat was the only factor that limited my performance today.
