  • Comments: Absolutely love the Spudman! I really hoped to end this race season on an up and I sure did! When I did this race two years ago my finish time was 2:54--this time 2:39--two years older and wiser made the difference! Had a great day out there!

  • Comments: Nice race, good volunteers, HORRIBLE communication. No emails, and the website wasn't updated until about 36 hours before the race. Website still doesn't link to results, had to go to Milliseconds website to find them.

  • Comments: Spudman is always a fun race to do, but this year was awesome. I was first in of our group. Some started behind me, but even Jeff didn't catch me for once (he started 20 mins behind, but beat my chip time by 15 mins). It was a ton of fun, and I BEAT MY BEST OLYMPIC TIME BY 30 MINS!!!! AWESOME! Very happy with how I did today.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: It's really hard for me to rate this race, so I just gave it a 3. For organization and local support, I think it is a great race and it is obviously very popular. It's also a very very fast course because of the current-aided swim and flat bike/run. My rating gets dragged down because of the rough roads on the bike course, and, more importantly, the drafting. The race rules say no drafting and that there will be penalties imposed, but I know now that they don't enforce it and so there is always a lot of drafting. I wish I had known that before I signed up for it back in January. I'm primarily racing myself/the clock, but its always interesting to see where I placed overall and in my AG. I can't help but think that some of the people in those big packs that went by me were in my AG. Those packs were moving pretty fast and the people in back were just going easy and certainly saved time and saved their legs for the run. I'm glad I did this race once, but I will not be going ba

  • Comments: Love how fast this race course is. No where else can you run an Oly distance race in just over 2 hours. I'll have to try a regular one this season and compare just to be reminded of how easy this one is :)

  • Comments: I thought this venue was excellent, and the event was very well organized for how large it was. There were plenty of volunteers to help make sure we all did the right thing. I'll definitely put this on my list of races to do!

  • Comments: A 60-year old gentleman from Provo died in the swim wave right behind mine. I guess it's a bit sobering to think how close someone was to dying, but at the same time, he went doing something he obviously enjoyed, so it could be worse. I had thought that this would be my last race, but I don't want to quit on a bad note. I am going to join the Desert Sharks Tri club and learn to ride and run better. I'll keep swimming twice a week. I also don't want my boys to see me as a quitter. If I leave triathlons, I'll leave on a good note, not a disappointing one like this one.

  • Comments: No other race experience to compare but only major frustration was lack of traffic control at T1 area in the morning. After double checking setup and tires it took forever to get out of the parking lot and over to the race start area. We had to park about a mile away and then run to the race start. Some poor planning on my part but also on the race officials to make sure competitors could get in and out of the T1 the morning of the race in time.

  • Comments: I still like this race even though I'm a good swimmer and this race doesn't favor good swimming. Doug and I switch waves (swim caps) since he is a stronger rider and runner and our hope was that he'd catch up to me on the ride and then we'd run together, but then he flatted out. So our times are going to be screwy. Actually, we will probably be DQ'd for swapping places. My swim time will show something like 2 minutes (since it was 12 minutes - the 10 minute start time difference) I emailed them and explained what happened, but I doubt they'll change it. They'll just DQ us. I do hope I can at least get the times from them because I thought my my watch was freaking out. I started it at the beginning of the swim, but the something happened as I was getting out of my wetsuit because once I got on my bike and looked at my watch, it show 4 minutes and 16 seconds and I wasn't sure how that could be. I decided that something much have been messed up so I didn't worry about my watch until
