  • Comments: 4/5 rating would have been 5/5 if there were mileage markers out there...it's just such an important aspect in races, especially races as long s 70.3!!! The .4 mile run from the swim to T1 is also pretty damn long. Overall, it was AWESOME! How can I not love a personal best overall, bike, and run?...with a run negative split to boot!!! Shoe Goo rules!!!!!!!!!!! Maybe I'll get to 1,000 miles in these kicks with the help of Shoe Goo! :)

  • Comments: Nice race course - although it would be BRUTAL on a sunny, hot day. Great support on the bike and on the first half of the run. The second half of the run - folks had left and finish line activities was non-existent! I was pretty disappointed. I thought my time was going to get me in before the awards started and they were already finished by the time I got there. Apparently they started early. It is so demoralizing to come in and see everything packed up and ready to go - and there were still 15 people behind me! There was nothing to eat and nothing to drink. Showered at the campground bathroom and headed to Cracker Barrel for some grub.
