How was TRIBAL?

I'll post my RR once they post the final time, I tried to do splits with my HRM, but I kept forgetting I was doing that and would split like 5 or 10 minutes after I was supposed to. Only thing I got even remotely close was the swim, after that it went downhill (see what I did there?).

Overall though, that was a tough as heck sprint, tons of uphill, and a 3 mile trail run that was like 1 mile down, 1 mile up, 1 mile up and down over and over.

Awesome time out there yesterday.  Absolutely PERFECT day for a race - ideal temperatures, no wind, and a little overcast.  Still waiting on the official results, but had a great time.  DCB did an excellent job again putting on the race.  Race report will follow this week.

Congrats Brian, Chris, Mel, et al!  Way to represent.

I agree with Brian, it was perfect weather and a great race.

I was able to chop a little over 12 min from last years time even though I was lollygagging in transition a little.

Since it is mandatory to complain about something I am going to say I would have liked to see chip timing so the results are available sooner.

And they ran out of t-shirts before I got mine.  Since I registered a month ahead my name went on a list of people who had paid for shirts and didn't get them and suposedly they will mail me one someday.

Overall I still had a great time and the one thing I should have done different (other than swim faster) was change out my gear stack on the bike.  It was a completely hilly course and I had a compact stack with a biggest cog of 21 when I needed the one with a 25 cog that was sitting in my garage to help get up those hills.  My bad, but again something that I hope to correct next year.

Thanks chile for helping suport the race.
