  • Comments: Race #42 Excellent Volunteer staff, organization and post race activity. Had a few issues with the swim orientation, could have been better. I did not find out about 2 loops until 5 minutes from start. Also, rode in a bit of traffic. The roads were not "closed" and traffic was allowed to move. Police was at 2 intersections. Would have preferred a better bike course (away from the trail), a course MAP posted on the web site. Other than that, it was a GREAT Race. I will return with Frank and Fam next year. One final note, AGAIN, I would like to thank my bud Frank C for HELPING me get this far. Without his help, inspiration and company, I would SUCK even more. He is the reason why I have been able to do this Oly in just 15 weeks of being a triathlete. Cudos to you bro- Thanks for the good times!!! He also rocks for kicking ass!!!

  • Comments: I wonder how it can be that I did so much better than Chicago, which was my "A" race and only 1 1/2 months ago, without a taper or anything. My swim was obviously worse, but the bike and run were better. I think it's the weather. I lost one of my gels right as I started the bike too so I only had one gel the whole race, plus one bottle of water, 3/4 bottle of Gatorade, and the gatorade on the run course. Had Endurox after the race and after my second ride. Thank you Chipmunk Heart for the idea to put the gel between the girls. I put my one gel there after I lost the first one. Very small, disorganized race. After the race I met Sue at the bike trail and we went about 25 miles at an easy pace. Then we headed back to my neighborhood and hopped in the pool. I swam 1000 yards while she watched and gave me some suggestions. It was great. Then we had lunch. Now it is nap time. Oh, Marmadaddy.....gimme my present!!!!
