  • Comments: As mentioned in the warm-down section, there was basically no water left at the finish and no real food. They had breakfast tacos but that doesn't work without anything to drink. Also, there timing is horrible. I was pretty sure I was the only Clydesdale doing the Olympic race. I checked the posted results as soon as I crossed the line to be sure. There were 2 others with posted finish times. Both of them had swims of 16 minutes for a 1:07 split. The timer guy was sitting right there so I mentioned it to him and he admitted it didn't look right. He did some digging and found both of them were age groupers and were in the wrong category. So indeed I was the only Clydesdale in the Olympic race to I got first and last place. I am supposed to do this same course in the fall. They basically had a 2 for 1 promotion going on when I signed up so I am signed up for it. I might skip it but if I do go ahead and race it and the support is as bad as it was for this one this event organizer
