  • Comments: I heard someone comment that this race director was "the best" from another participant. I don't think he's bad, but the post-race layout and accommodations had a lot to be desired. Pizzas ran out (I only could find one piece, there were no drinks other than water, beer, and a few specialty sport drinks. It wasn't bad, but it had a lot left to be desired for a "Great" evaluation.

  • Comments: my first sprint i did 7 weeks ago was i freeport with a 500yd swim compared to this one that was a 500m swim.....did that one with about 2 weeks of training mainly running and biking some and did it in 1hr 53min...since then condensed the sprint training plan that had bike emphasis here on BT and shaved off 24min from my time...my goal was to be under 1hr 30min and i beat my goal by 55 sec......felt really good....time to start training for the next one!
