  • Comments: Volunteers stayed on the bike course during the rain. Post race activities weren't great, but it was pouring rain. This was probably the most fun I have had during a race, even though the weather conditions were horrible.

  • Comments: I know I did the right thing by dropping after the bike, but it still pisses me off. After standing around for 30 mins, I could breathe again. I went out with Karen and ran with her (her first ever tri). Her pace was quite a bit slower so I was able to breathe ok and actually felt good which made me even more mad about having to drop earlier.

  • Comments: Seems to me like this race attracts more of the Open (Elite) crowd, not many beginners, I think I'd enjoy it more as a spectator. :) Post race festivities were lousy - I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and blame the weather. :)

  • Comments: I am glad I did this race - it was my 1st Triathlon and I will never for get this one..it was tough, the weather turned for the worst on us, we could have quit..but none of us did..we stuck it out and made it...we were the elites that day..if you ask me ...we made it thru the crappiest parts of the race and we did with a smile...we ..novices, first timers, and rookies...all champions this day. I accomplished my goal..I had completed my 1st triathlon and if I can make it thru this kinda day...well..there ain't much I cannot accomplish. I took a spill on the bike course, but ya know what, I picked myself up and moved on...that to me was my defining moment....I overcame and made to the finish. It was a great day to be a triathlete...the initiation was tough but I made it!!

  • Comments: The finish was anti-climactic, there wasn't anybody around as the rain was moving in. The MAP volunteers scattered as soon as the rain hit. I felt bad for everybody left on the course. Post race activites sucked, but that was expected for this small a race. I know where I need to work and now it's time to get ready for White Lake Half. Overall a good start to the season. The very best part was watching all of the other QCTCers race and finish, as well as all of the folks that come into Inside Out Sports. They really had to put up with some rough weather and I'm proud to be associated with all of them. Everybody had smiles as they finished and their enthusiasm is contagious.
