  • Comments: This is a great season ending race which is well attended and well run. You have to enter early because this one always sells out a few weeks ahead of time.

  • Comments: I really like this race. I'm partial to it because it was the first one I ever did two years ago, but it's just a good time and the DQ people do a nice job. The venue is kind of unusual, so much of it taking place in a residential neighborhood, making it kind of "homespun" and "casual", but I like that part of it. I was surprised to see the number of participants was "only" 363; I thought they had almost 400 sign up, and the number was 22 short of last year's field. Things were a little harried at the beginning, during packet pick-up, because there are so many of us. Last year I got my packet the night before so I didn't have to mess with the crowd at pre-race. The other DQ races this year were smaller fields so that part went much smoother.

  • Comments: Nice little race. For a small event, there were lots of pretty competetive folks out there today! It was nice to go into a race with pretty much no expectations - just out for fun with some friends. I was pleased with my times, especially considering how little training I've done lately. I had a good time out there today.

  • Comments: Would have gave the race a 5 but DQ needs to do a much better job of keeping people out of transition area. I never feel safe with my bike and gear just hanging around after the race.

  • Comments: This is the race I use to track my progress. It was my first race two years ago. Looking back at previous results, I did a fantastic job this year. Five minutes faster than 2007, seventeen minutes faster than 2006. Today was the best race I've ever had (even beat my King's Grant time from three weeks ago, and that's a shorter race!). I am disappointed in the bad run, but I've been struggling with that for three or four months now - it was probably the best I could do right now. Overall I'm really happy, and I've never enjoyed the bike so much during a race.
