• Comments: This was as close to a perfect race as you can get from a planning and execution aspect. Everything went exactly how I planned. I will continue to train and get faster and start bringing the times down. I had a goal on my blog of sub 2:20:00 Olympic which I am not going to cross off as this race had a very short bike course. So I'll leave that up until I complete one with the correct distances. Next Olympic isn't for a while. I have a longer race in August ( 1 x 34 x 10 ) that I am building to.

• Post race activities? Average
• Overall course based on my ability: Too easy


• Comments: Generally a nice event. Decent expo. Flat course. Only things I'd like to see change: More post race food options (they had only strawberries and cookies), along with water and cocoanut water. And a bit more accuracy with regard to the bike course distance. Bad enough to call an event an "Olympic" with a course that is shorter than the Olympic standard (call it an "international" then), but to have the course come up more than two miles short of what is announced is unacceptable, IMO.
