  • Comments: The 2 is based on mainly a couple of bad intersections that should have had traffic control, glad no one got hurt. There should have been one more water/aid station on the run. I would have liked to see one more aid station on the run but I really shouldn't complain,. The bibs, both bike and run were cheap POS, next year they should save even more money on them and just not have any at all then they won't have to clean them up off of the course. My criticism of the race comes from two intersections where they should have had LEO directing traffic it had potential for BAD things to happen. The post food & beverage was great, 2 beers and lots of pretty good food. If it wasn't for those two intersections i would have hit this with a 5.

  • Comments: This is one of the rare occasions where I am pleased with my performance from start to finish. I swam well after a so-so start, the bike was solid, and the run was good. It was a PR for me on an Olympic distance swim, and the run was a PR for a non-Tempe Olympic (that was a race that was not only on a flat course, but also during my build for IMAZ, so the standard is a little different). I consider this race to be a PR day for a 'tough' course. It was a good start to the season. I have to give credit to BBSC for another fantastic race. It was organized, safe, plenty of volunteers, and nice race bags/extras. It was my third time racing with them, and they always do a great job.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: When I was done with the massage and eating, I decided to check the results that were posted. According to those, I was third in my division! YAY! I was going to get more hardware! SO... I stuck around to wait for the awards ceremony. When they FINALLY got to my division, when they annouced who was third, it wasn't me!!!! Apparently, they put the third place guy in the wrong division and he straigtened it out and JUST squeeked out third and beat me by 49 seconds. As a side note? If he was 200 lbs, he was like 205. The guys that were 1st and 2nd were legitimate clydesdales, but third? I don't know. But if he was over 200 he was over and them's the rules, and I just need to get faster! Honestly? I was sort of banking on getting hardware to prove myself... to myself becuase I was not very happy with the overall time. I have been faster on one occasion and I thought I have done a LOT more work this year with the training and the weight loss... So for several days, I was
