MedExpress Mountaineer Triathlon - Olympic Distance (Page 2)

No crab cake you get in Morgantown will beat Faidley's at Lexington Market or the Olive Grove in Linthicum. I'll second the Wings Ole recommendation. Two tacos and a half dozen wings from there will probably sit heavy on my belly on my way back to Maryland on Sunday. 

I did the half but I thought I'd chime in.  It was brutal!!!  I drove the course the night before and really got freaked out.  I did my first loop and thought it was ok.  REALLY REALLY hard, but do-able.  The second loop was horrible.  At mile 44 I was done.  I just wanted to get off my bike.  I stayed on and made it through.  I was happy for the flat run course.  Although I didn't run as much as I would have liked.

All in all, a great race and a great day.   I ended up eating at the hotel Saturday night and went to the Brewery for some Pizza Sunday night.

Well done Christy.  I specifically remember thinking to myself near the end of my bike course how glad I was that I didn't have a second loop.  Good for you for sticking with it! 

My family and I grabbed pizza at the Brewery afterward as well.  Yum!

Once (well, twice) around that bike course was enough for me.  Plus I moved across the country.  So, I'm out. 

Good luck to everyone doing it!

Christy

I stayed at the Waterfront last year.  It was a quick walk to the start and a nice hotel.

Good luck!

Glad you "enjoyed" the hills-long story short- No we dont ride the trail.
