  • Comments: poor course support on bike, ability to cheat (intentionally or accidently) by not completing 3 loops. No water bottle exchange on bike, carpets covering expansion joints on the biggest bridge (great that they did this) blew all over, and were hard to get around on my third loop. Overall, great experience (lots of rocket fast athletes...), LOVED the fun bike course, the heat, not so much!! Thankfull to have the ability to work med tent after my race, LOTS of IV's, lots of puking (luckily NOT on me!) stitches once yesterday, and once today. Fortunately, none of those were for me!! Most frequent commments heard "I've never raced this slow before, Ive never walked a run before, and Man was that HARD, and its sooo HOT". I second all of them!!

  • Comments: This event had potential. I can't hold the weather against the race but the bike course left much to be desired for a National Championship event. I think USAT and the cirt of Richmond dropped the ball on this one. I'm probably out $200+ for new tubulars and there are definitely others who are in the same situation, not to mention those who ended up injured.
