Subject: RE: Cornhusker State Games 2009I liked comming down the "pipeline" through the park on each lap. It kept the spectators all together and made for a great race atmosphere. I usually prefer out and back courses, but at least with this I got a boost from the crowd each lap. Sorry to hear about the guy who crashed, maybe the anouncer could make periodic statements about staying clear of the course? I also think they tried to help too much with all the buoys in the water, I like to "keep it simple stupid." (just put a buoy at each turn. ) if you miss it or go off course, well... tough. I was very impressed with the number of rescue craft and life guards. even with that number of competitors they were still able to keep a close watch for problems. The water station on the run was placed perfectly. in my previous race it was at the turn, thus only hitting it once. A second shot of water did me good during this race. One final thought: I would love to see them add a Oly to next years state games. Just my 2 cents. keep racing. |
