  • Comments: Everything started right on time. Only ~70 people were registered two weeks ago, so Merry (the RD) planned on manual timing. Number of racers jumped up to 170 by race day, but it was too late to arrange chip timing. No real post-race except snacks (bagels, kolaches, oranges, bananas, apples, Gatorade) and talking to other racers. Too bad the age groups were 10 years. If there had been enough racers for the normal 30-34 grouping, I would have had hardware. (Yes, I'm blissfully ignoring the fact that more racers means there would be more in my age group faster than me.) All-in-all, it was good for a small race, and nice to have some Olympic-distance open water practice.

  • Comments: This was an OK race right in my back yard, so can't really complain. They didn't have chip timing, so the times are from my watch.
