Comments: I went into this race with pretty much no expectations. It was purely for fun and because it seemed to be an interesting format. Also, because I am in the middle of my training plan for a 70.3 in October, I decided to "train through" this race without any sort of taper. Basically, I tried to just adjust my training schedule to incorporate this race distance.
With that said, I'm pleased with the race outcome. I won my age group!! While there were only a few of us, I'm still pretty happy as I could have easily NOT won. I AM improving.
The race organization was quite good, especially for a first-time event. There were a few aspects of the race that I think could improve (such as marking the bike course better), but overall I give it 2 thumbs up. I will do this race again, provided it fits with next year's training schedule.
