  • Comments: "Leon" and the rest of the crew put on an amazing race and an amazing production. There was plenty of spectator support, town support, and ameneties down to the awesome pro-style finish shoot. I would not hesitate to recommend this race to anyone. Just top-notch all the way around.

  • Comments: Couldn't have asked for a more beautiful day to race on, and a better group of people to race with. Beat my race time goals by 4 minutes -- did every single thing faster than I projected. Not too shabby for less than 24 hours since my last race, and about 6 hours of sleep! The only thing about the day that was a negative was I saw several folks who flatted on the course, all of them on Cline Ave. It's awesome to have a closed highway to race on, but it's showing some wear and tear from NWI winters. The people who flatted that I noticed all looked to me like they had serious bikes, and I wonder if they were on ultralight tubes and tires, and paying a price for it. I started pointing down at the potholes as I came across them, to hopefully warn people behind me about the hazards, but I don't know that it would have helped anyone going very fast.

  • Comments: I beat my previous best by three minutes set back in May. My swim times and run times have come down a ton since last year. I've got a lot of biking planned for June leading into Muncie 70.3. If I can maintain my swim and run, and increase my bike fitness, then I'm looking great to finish my first 70.3. As to why I rated the race a three: 1. The cost is above average. 2. There are WAY TOO MANY FLATS! I flatted last year as did many others. This year it seemed even worse. I avoided a flat this year, but many other riders were not as lucky. I hate to see a rider having to walk in his bike because of a flat. Granted, they should fix their flats and keep moving. . . but it really does ruin your race.
