  • Comments: This race is put on by Habitat for Humanity, and they do an excellent job! Volunteers are extremely friendly, and the post race buffet is like you walked into a bake sale! Two comments on other topics - My friend who drove had a DNF. He came out of the water with a HR over 200 (he's 43 like me, but put on a bunch of weight over the last year). So he sat at T1 for 5 mins, then went ahead on the bike. He had no chance on the hill, so walked it. Finished the bike, and now his HR was 220. Went out on the run, but stopped to talk to the paramedics to confirm, and sure enough they measured 225. So he called it a day. I saw him after I finished, which was about another 10 mins later, and his HR was still at 180. While we were talking he said, "I suddenly feel better" and just like that his HR dropped to 110. So he has an appointment with the doc tomorrow. Very important to get yourself checked out, and stay healthy to do this stuff. I don't know exactly what triggered it

  • Comments: Very well organized. This group really cares about the people racing, and they come out in full force to help. The timing is not done by chips, but by volunteers shouting out your race number as you pass! Worked just as well for a small race like this. Very good race and tuneup, and I highly recommend it for anyone in the area.
