• Comments: This is the first time I've actually approached a race as a 'C' race or training race. My main objective was to gauge my fitness level both from last year and heading into my Oly training plan starting next week. I though I did a good job of pushing, but not too much. Went pretty much as I expected, so was happy overall. This race has a great venue, but the RD just can't seem to get their act together; it always feels a bit disorganized. Bringing in a new timer (Alta Vista) certainly helped. They announced this is the last time they are going to do their spring race and will instead concentrate only on their fall race. Unfortunately that puts them into direct competition with several other well-established local races, including Rev3 FL down in Venice.
