  • Comments: Overall a great race. Wasn't happy with bike and run pace when initial results were posted, but now that I figured out they calculated the bike pace incorrectly and it appears the run is longer, I am much happier with my results. I'm still in shock that I pulled out a 20th overall and only 6th in my age group. I had a tough age group, but as they say, "to be the best, you have to beat the best".

  • Comments: I liked the way they did prizes/awards this year. Years past it was based on AG size, now its just top 4 in AG and also to those with the fastest swim, bike or run. Another good year for the race.

  • Comments: I really liked the course and race management. Very well organized, great food and with so many people had a big race feel about it. The course is set up for speed and does have some challenges. I did have the course at 13.8 on the bike and 3.63 on the garmin for the run. I will be back to race to better my time avenge my performance today. The positive I did qualify for nationals. I enjoyed talking with Brenda and Dirk they rocked the course and look forward to seeing them at Muncie.

  • Comments: I think the run course might be longer than posted. My Garmin puts it at 3.66 but I know this isn't exact. I would think it would be closer than .16 on a narrow course. My watch put my run pace at 6:48 and the official time makes it 7:02. I think the watch is closer and my speed a little better. After running a HM at a 7:08 pace, I think my watch is closer than the race distance and pacing results.
