  • Comments: We all know that not everyone is going to be happy, and that there is always room for improvement. So, with that said, I do not want to insult the dedication and hard work of the race director/producer and volunteers by even providing constructive criticism. They had a lot in their hands this time around, record high temperatures, a lot of new and unexperienced athletes, road constructions, and reduced police assistance among others. Under the circumstances, I stronly believe they all did an exceptional job at adapting to those last minute changes and made it possible for all to enjoy a high-quality event.

  • Comments: The Great Floridian is a classic race for good reason. It's well-run and extremely enjoyable. I'll certainly never forget this race in record high temperatures where I had my goggles kicked off, saw a guy get hit by a car on his bike, and was spit on during the run. While that doesn't sound like too much fun, the Great Floridian was executed in a way that was just superb, and the stories become numerous. Overall, I can't thank the Race Director, his staff, and volunteers enough. They did an amazing job in horrible conditions. I just hope they'll return the iPod that I left in my warmup bag to me....
