Subject: RE: Rev3 Portland How did it go for those of you who did the Portland half? That bike course was the real deal, but I loved it. Very challenging and never boring. I saw some people at the hotel on race morning that were seriously intimidated. I heard a few people setting up in transition saying they bought a new cassette the day before the race after previewing the course. The only part of my race I was disappointed in was the swim. I thought I swam really well, especially for me. No pauses to catch my breath, no traffic jams, lots of smooth, strong strokes. I was excited to get out of the water and see my time and was very disappointed to see I swam a slower pace than I did at an Olympic in same lake a month earlier when I thought I had a terrible swim. Ugh. Are the number of participants at Rev 3 races always that low? Not that I'm complaining because I like smaller races, but I wonder how they can survive with relatively few participants. |
