  • Comments: Pacific Sports does a fine job. There are minor pecadillos as in any race, but they are minor. Not worth a mention (ahem, race result format is a little weak). The traffic control was fantastic as it was last year. The control of mother nature was also commendable as it was last year. The first flush rain event I cannot, in good concience, blame on the race director. These guys do a fine job. Success! the young Spratt is now encouraged, having watched a few youngsters his age or less cross the finish line before me, despite the fact that their wave started later, to train for a sprint tri. If for no other reason than to prove that he can kick his mom's boyfriend's a$$! I feel good about this. The swim course was fowled badly by what amounts to poor luck, but this was still a wonderfully organized event in my opinion. I recommend it to all.

  • Comments: An enjoyable race - great for beginners or for those who want to do a good but short race. The number of racers though should be factored into how fast you can expect to go.

  • Comments: Good race, close to home. For the pricey entry I would have expected something in addition to water, oranges and bananas (like a bagel or muffin) at the finishing area food table. I'll definitely do it again.

  • Comments: LB was my first race in 2006 and I ran 1:40 then, so I knocked 5 min off of last year's time. I feel pretty good about that, and will definitely be back to my "index race" next year.
