  • Comments: Outside of the construction and narrow lake trail i was surprised it actually played no roll in a competitive performance. They have a booth where right away they can put in your number and a receipt print comes out with your personal splits...I walked around looked at results posted...Started looking down at the late 20's to 30th then in the 40's and was worried so I scanned up wondering where did I finish? I just got the chills when I was 13th place. i actually would not believe it and went to eat telling myself no way. Checked back again and it still says 13th place. A good place to be, and I am starting to believe I am good at this, I deserve to be among these other ladies that I have watched for so long. I have done the work and i believe.

  • Comments: Wow - this definitely is the best race ever - participants, volunteers, booths, massages, announcer, etc. It was awesome and it was a gorgeous day! It was great seeing Emily again, and wish I would've met the other BTers. Hopefully I'll meet them next time!

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The bike course should have been better marked, especially with the road construction. All of the side roads had police officers, which was good, but the turns and lane changes were hard to see because the course cones were the same as the road construction cones. I'm still a little pissy about only having packet pickup on Saturday. I had to leave Yom Kippur services to get my packet and I would have appreciated the option to get my packet that morning.

  • Comments: This if a first class operation, night and day compared to some of our usual local events (Randy Fulton). I met all of my goals and frankly far exceeded my own expectations, so I am extremely happy with myself today :) The best part was a checked my bike computer for my top speed, because my husband is obsessed with this one hill and wondered how I did. Well, I guess I was going pretty fast because it read 66 MPH!!! That has to be a record.
