  • Comments: This is a spectacular venue. Great race. Well run. Beautiful course. Definitely on my list of must do races if anyone asks. The only down side on this was how crowded the finish area was. I think it is a function of this being the WC with so many athletes finishing in close proximity to each other because I don't remember it being like this last year at the standard MT 70.3. It was difficult to get food, drinks, find family, etc. Again, it was not like this at the non championship 70.3 last year. Thanks to my coach, Steve Johnson, of Darkhorse Triathlon for holding my feet to the fire and getting me in the kind of shape where 4:51 is a mild disappointment and not a huge victory. The guy really knows what he is doing if anyone is interested in a high-level coach experience.

  • Comments: For the 70.3 World Championship, I was pretty underwhelmed. All of the other WTC races I've done have had better pre- and post-race activities. Until I found the poutine, this race also had (by far) the worst post-race food selection....yeah, I race so I can eat :)
