Event comments:

Everything with the race went good. The food after the race could of been much better for me paying $97 to race. They would not let me have a sloppy joe sandwich since I did not do the 1/2. That must be some expensive hamburger they bought if $97 does not cover one sandwich.

I do have to chime in and say that I remember dh doing his first HIM and he went to get food and they had run out of the HIM food. They put it out later, but some of the Oly folks had eaten it all. So I understand how it would suck from your perspective, but I can also see the other side of it. :-)
