  • Comments: Great 1st multi sport event. The goal was to finish and I wound up in the middle of the pack (although at the lower end of my age group..which was expected). Just happy to have this one under my belt. Had waaay more fun than I thought I would!!!

  • Comments: One of the best values around. Just a perfect day for it. Not to cold and no snow or ice on the bike course. Good to see Fil, Julia, Vik and others. My friend Theresa did her first multisport event ever and did awesome. My wife was 4th in her age group.

  • Comments: I love this race series. It is so much fun and it keeps me motivated in the winter. Anything can happen at this thing... weather is nearly always a factor and there are always surprise fast guys... I've had a busy race season so far in 2008 and its nice to get an overall win already this year!

  • Comments: There was another bike leg after the run -- apparently I got passed by a lot of people in later waves during that ride. Spaced out a bit and forgot I was supposed to be racing :) Was more comfortable in the snow at this point in spite of some fishtailing in my highest gear. Two laps, 27:32. Lastly, rack bike and run to finish :36. Very fun, rather silly race! Ran w/ helmet on and rode in running shoes w/ YakTrax. I could have been more aggressive on the ride -- BUT I didn't fall down :)

  • Comments: Great winter series race. Always challenging and fun! Great to see all the BT'ers who were racing and Cheering. Good to have lunch with everyone too! Not the best race but it was fun!

  • Comments: Just a fun race. I like it how flexible they are adjusting and changing it all around based on the weather conditions. Everyone always seems to have a great time. I met a bunch of BT-ers which was very cool.

  • Comments: This whole race series is low on frills but high on the fun factor. The RD has a never say die attitude for these races in the result for this race was an event I'll always remember because of the insane run conditions. Good times.

  • Comments: This race was not nearly as organized as RACING UNDERGROUD usually is. The volunteers really messed up T2 and the run and bike transitions for some. Other than that it was a blast to run such a challenging course. Good to see CAthy, Richard, Ben and Lilia.

  • Comments: This RD is awesome and always puts on a good race. Even had chip timing for this one - though I think it was only for total time. This was a great race, but very difficult due to conditions. But, the race goes on regardless of conditions, and everyone knows that up front. Crazy day! Fun, but crazy. And I'm going to have a nasty bruise on my butt. It's sore.

  • Comments: These races are good practice for keeping to your race plan (which I don't do very well) and a good reminder that being able to do the distance and do the distance fast are two different things. I could probably do this at my own pace & feel pretty fresh at the end, but I get a bit frustrated at being so much slower than everyone. This isn't bad for a short race like this but could hurt me in a longer race if I try to keep up with people or catch people in bright yellow jackets. Lots of icy patches on the bike which I had to slow down for but still much better than the mtb. I shaved off about 7 minutes (closer to 10 minutes if you take away the time I lost in transition) from the 1st race.

  • Comments: I think a race in these conditions is going to bring out the more bad-ass competitors. I would say I ended up in the FOBOBOP - I was mostly able to race my own race but I still got somewhat caught up in trying to keep up with people or ahead of people. A 4 mile run is just witin my limits now, but if I end up doing that in other races it might cost me a little more. Fun time being out in the elements though.
