A little trouble getting the suit off.

Comments:

The course had several large puddles covering nearly all the lanes due to recent heavy rains. Tailwind did not aid you as much as headwind hindered you. Lots of fun riding with the really fast folks. I love the loop!

N/A Fun ride.

Another @#$%! rolled into the ride time. Really second class.

Post race
Warm down:

Wait to get bike out of corral. 3D was very conscious about keeping the corral secure (why not every race 3d?).

Event comments:

Boston Market post-race = yuck. This race is pretty good primarily due to the loop bike course and the scenic views. Running on the race track is cool also. This venue could support so much growth which could make this race special.

I was passing others who were saying, "Good job, 587" (that was my race number). People were cheering me on. These were the nicest people I have ever been around!

Experts agree, doing a “mock,” triathlon on the course you’re racing can aid you in your training; performance and most of all quell some nervous energy.
