Not much to say. Stayed in the top 3 with the 3 of us hitting t1 at the same time. Timing and scoring was messed up...I had an 11:29 (with all 3 of us entering t1 together) but official race timing had 11:13. Anyway very good first run. It felt great and relaxed.

Probably could have pushed the pace alittle bit and still had plenty left for the rest of the race.

I have speedplays and had a horrible time clipping in. Not sure what happened!

Not too bad. The course was short due to contruction so it was well short of 20K...11.6 miles according to my computer. However they figured the average base on a true 20K so the results show faster averages. Very rough roads. I'm not sure if I'll do this race again due to the rail road crossings and rough roads.

I've definitly biked better this year but I probably need to spend more time on the bike.

Not too bad. I just missed 2nd overall. Every time I surged the guy in front of me was able to respond. I should have been able to push a little harder but just didn't quite get there. Overall not too bad.

Pushed harder. I should have been able to run up to 2nd place.

Not much. A little stretching.


I need to get faster on the bike without sacrificing any run speed. I'm losing too much ground to some of the other guys on the bike.


Well, the race venue itself is a great concept. The bike course is marginal at best. Odd bike in bike out routes coupled with the two rail road crossings and rough roads make this race a a 2nd tier race for next year...I'll have to think about it.
