Great job on your first tri! Your swim was awesome, AND without a wetsuit no less.

Got any pics of the tri scenery?  I grew up in Spokane, and really miss the CD'A beauty.

 congrats again on a great finish.

I heard about the tacks. Super tacky.

Yeah, bad joke.

Seriosly it was horrible to hear about. I guess 17 people dropped out because of that episode.

Great job on your first!

Tacks on the roadway.  I didn't hear that but suspected it when I heard one guy describe 'carnage on the bike course.'  He said he saw probably 25 flats.  Cripes.

Great first race. Congrats. The Olys are always more competitive than the sprints. You always get the guys in there that have been doing it a while so generally there aren't a lot of first-timers. Tough race to start with. Kudos.
