  • Comments: I enjoy this race, although more evenly spaced aid stations on the run would be great. It's pretty well organized, and I can't be upset with my overall performance. Unfortunately, the bike course would have been a great test of my training if I were doing IM Florida (really flat), but I'm doing IMMoo (Not so much), so there weren't enough hills for a really good rehearsal, but I knew that going in and had fun anyway!

  • Comments: I liked the race, but said those words that I use to say in College. I will never do this again. I might, but it isn't something I will sign up for right now. Next is the Twin Cities Marathon. Stupid me.

  • Comments: The race director and volunteers did a great job. The road conditions were a little rough...but there's a limit to how much control they have over that. Volunteers were friendly and plentiful. The finish area and food were very nice. They had stacks of Swedish pancakes and loads of watermelon. All that an athletes needs and desires.

  • Comments: For as many people as do the race I think they do a good job. I think they had over 1,600 people including the sprint and half. Was a little dissapointd they didn't have me in the Clydesdale category I had registered under. Would have taken home the 3rd place trophy. Was sad to see a lot of drafting going on in the bike. At one point I had a group basically go by me in a pelaton. Unfortunately I knew several in the group (No BT'ers) and know they were not as fast as they were in the group. Blatent cheating in my opinion. Could see them for quite a ways and they hung together and were 2 and 3 people wide the whole time I saw them. This bothered me more than it should have I guess.
