  • Comments: This is a good small race. They've had bad luck the past two years with cold fronts moving through the night prior to the race. They made some good improvements this year: instituting a "circular" in-lane swim that enabled more people to swim sooner and get on with the race without causing too many "crowding" problems (except for the ace swimmers); they finally got "real" bike racks instead of 2 x 4s mounted on sawhorses, and had bikes racked by number groups instead of first come, first served. Great post-race feed and door prizes. Great participation from all types of folks--lots of young people did their first tris (I'm guessing) at this event.

  • Comments: I had a great race from the standpoint of my own objectives going in, which was to have a better run than last year, which i did (by about 4 minutes). Still, having gained a second-place medal last year, I couldn't help but feel disappointed by finishing out of the medals this year. We had the toughest group of women going! My time would have medaled in either group, younger or older, either side of me. Just happened to be a race where quality competition raced that day....
