Event comments:

bad race direction, will not race another tucson racing event. 1pm awards started at 130 just like the race starting late... excuses all around. Shit transition run for T1 and they let anyone in to transition. at one point there were 2 dogs in transition with owners walking around like they belonged in there... tripped over a woman walking around looking lost in T2 when i ran in my bike
