  • Comments: Getting to watch the Oly participants head out first, I really got a sense of how organized the event was. And this year, I actually got sdome pizza. Love the encouragement poured out by the guy on the mike who was stationed right out of transition. For such a small race - there was a really nice vib. I plan to do it again next year!

  • Comments: If you have never raced in other races - you might think that MM was a pretty good tri. But to be honest, it was pretty minimalist. The tee shirts were average, no body marking, the post race food was poor (hot dogs potato chips, and oranges (and they let non races eat before all the races finished so by the time I got there - there wasn't much left). While there were enough people working the course so no one got lost - they didn't have a global picture of the race so they weren't able to answer even basic questions. They didn't even post the times for all the age groupers - just the winners. I liked the spirit of the race and the pre race briefing was very good. I agreed whole heartedly with their decision to push the start of the race back due to a thunderstorm moving through. It wasn't bad, but I probably wouldn't do it again.
