  • Comments: Overall a good race. I was good for 2nd in the Clydesdale division and would have made 4th in my AG (first clyde was also in my AG). Definitely an improvement over last time. My bike and run paces were faster by 2.3mph and about 15 seconds per mile vs. last week. I would like the bike to have been longer but apparently it was short due to the local PD telling the RD that the course needed a change this morning.

  • Comments: Sean Wendt, the race director, thinks he can do everything single handedly, but can't. He needs to learn to delegate. This was the first year for this race, which explains some of the problems, but he's a veteran race director and should know how to do a race. A sampling of the many problems include: No port-a-potties on site, 1/2 hour late in getting started, no choice on T-shirt sizing, no body markers until VERY late pre-race, buoys weren't in place until about 2 minutes before race start, etc. Not very well organized. Though it was my best time, I probably won't do this race again.
