  • Comments: This race had a bad reputation for having poor course markings and few volunteers. I actually thought it was reasonable. We had a lot of traffic to contend with and there were some interesections that had no people to direct traffic, but overall it was better than I thought it would be. I won't do it again. The run was just too crazy for me even if my stomach wasn't an issue. There was a fair amount of cheating going on....long lines of bikers riding together (almost like a pace line) and several people that cut off part of the HIM run course since there were no timing mats. I guess they all have to live with themselves. The #3 AG behind me cheated and if she would have beaten my I think I might have slugged her :)
