• Comments: The volunteer group that had committed to help for this race backed out the week before the race. They were headed down to Louisiana to help with the relief efforts there. While I commend that cause it still left the race organizers in a tough spot. They put out the call for volunteers and ended up hiring some workers from the local Labor Ready to man some course locations. I think because of this they ended up cancelling the Saturday packet pickup and transition setup. This made race morning busy, and the races ended up about a half hour late. Things ran fine otherwise.

• Comments: This is a great course and it was a great day for a race. The sun came out and conditions were very nice. I couldn't have ended this triathlon season on a better note, with a pint glass trophy for second place in my age division, a feeling of being healthy and accomplishing my goals. Can't wait til next year...Olympic here I come!
