  • Comments: As always, this is a great race and venue. Despite still being undertrained and slower than molasses, I was actually fairly pleased with this race. I cut about 5 minutes from two years ago, so hey, I'll take it.

  • Comments: Not really sure what the problem was with sister's bike. Gear West guy quickly checked out the tire and said he didn't see or feel anything in it that would cause the flat, but clearly there is some issue with either the tire or the rim that is puncturing the tubes. I hope it's the tire since rims are much more expensive. As much as this result is bad, I do love this race. For one thing, they always have watermelon afterward. Oh how I love watermelon on a sweltering hot day! Yum! :) The whole thing was kind of a cluster, but it's ok.

  • Comments: Have been trying for 5 years to break 60 minutes and was finally able to reach that goal. FWIW, I think that is mostly due to the Oly training.

  • Comments: Very nice race, though much larger participation than I envisioned. Great volunteers. Nice course. I'd do this race again in a heartbeat. Had to leave (fussy baby) before door prizes, but that's life. Sorry that I only saw one BT person. Maybe we'll be able to stick around for grilling next time around.

  • Comments: Love this race! Of course we were slow as molasses, but that's ok! We had a great time and my sister now has two races under her belt! She has come a long way already and I am super proud of her! :) So nice as always to see the BT crew after as well - Ben, Joe, Bryan, and Kelly. Small crowd this year due to the conflicting HIMs, but still fun. Sadly, none of us won any of the goodies at the give away. Boo hoo.

  • Comments: Well organized. I have always heard good things about HOLT so I was glad to have the opportunity to participte. I was glad the day had the weather it did. The two days prior to it had been cool (65, 70) with lots of clouds and wind. Today was gorgeous. It started off cool (50) but when the sun came out, it was PERFECT!
