race was great - volunteers where great - post race activities where lacking and the food was sub par - sorry I don't eat pizza - it seemed they forgot about the after race part all together - the richmond tri-club put up the food as far as I know so kudos to them for that

not 100% sure of overall participants - all the web sites just say nearly 1300 as a record amount - lots of DNF's

Thanks QZ!
Yeah the 1st downhill into the turn onto the bridge was a little nerve racking. My 1st time down there was a bad wreck up against one of the cars blocking the street for the race - kind of un-nerved me for few minutes. I saw so many flats too, I really was worried about that but I also felt really bad for the people that flatted out and you could tell they where done.
It was a awesome experience though.
