  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The volunteers directing the run were fustrating me by waiting until you were right upon them to tell you which way to run. I wish they could figure out that a runner can use that info about 15 feet away. On one turn the same thing happened on the bike course. The overall race went a bit poorer than I had hoped due to me being worn out by the third event in a row. Good training though.

  • Comments: Here is what UltraFit got wrong: 1) Everyones families in the transition zone before the race. 2) Times were wrong. The T2 time was initially added into the bike time. I contacted the officials and the results have since been corrected. 3) Poorly racked bikes in the T zone. (lots of wasted room by the newbies). Helpers were provided but they did not assert themselves to keep things organized. 4) Course traffic directors need to direct sooner. I twice flew up to an intersection and had to yell "which way" because the traffic director would wait too long to signal. For me, all those other things we care about in a race were OK or good. Overall I had fun again. Such as: 1) UltraFit tried to maintain order in the T zone with many helpers in their. Problem was, the helpers just did not assert themselves and do much. 2) Good fun event. 3) Good course marshalling to keep us passers safe. Why do I always feel so good the day after the race? I feel 10 lbs lighter today and

  • Comments: I decided to do these smaller races with my 13 year old son as a team. We have been doing them as duathlons due to me not wanting to sit wet and wait for his return. This was his second race and he is having fun. Now if I could get him running and swimming. He is showing some interest in running alittle and hopefully by the first of August he can do a duathlon himself. I would race with him side by side the whole way if I can get him going! He thinks there is leaches in the lakes so he wont go there yet. LOL
