Comments: This was my first, so not sure if the rating is fair or not.
This was also my first race ever and do not have background in organized sports. The training at lunch time with the co-workers gave good feelings. The crowd at the event felt more inaccessible (did not even returned my greetings as I was setting-up in the T-zone, or felt bothered by some encouragements I gave during the race, or did not acknowledge apologies during the swin even thought there was eye contact). Might just be me, might just have been the event itsef, but it felt like an obnoxious elite club. Huge exception to that was my immediate neighbor in the T-Zone. Super friendly, very helpfull, great chat, good spirit, if it was not for him it would have been a bitter day. Sport-wise, VERY pleased with the experience. I think I will do another one with better physical and mental preparation, and have my ipod and warm-up on from arrival to start of the race.
