  • Comments: Breezy Point sprint triathlon turned into a 5K run - 20K bike - 100m dash due to the tropical storm blowing through. I didn't see any good reason to go out on the bike and risk taking a fall in the driving rain and 20-30mph winds so I lined up with my starting wave, ran a pretty hard 5K, and called it a day. Too bad the weather was so nasty. This is a popular local race with a fun party (beer & BBQ) after. I was looking forward to it because this happens to be the first triathlon I ever did back 4 years ago. Typically a good race but the weather killed it today.

  • Comments: This was a well organized event. It was really unfortunate that the weather stank. It didn't really affect the challenge of the race (everybody dealt with the same weather), but it forced them to cut out the swim. I also think a lot of people didn't race...slackers...too good for a little rain are ya?...regardless, I had a good time. It was a good shakeout for my packing plan and race prep. Now we can do it again next weekend! The awards party was great! Free BBQ (really good BBQ)...Free beer (they had my 2 favorite kinds, "COLD" and "FREE"!!! And free pizza from Pizza Hut Bottom line, despite the sucky weather, I enjoyed the race, got a good challenge, and enjoyed myself.
