  • Comments: They had good food. Pepperoni bread, soft pretzels, fruit, garlic bread, lots of Entenmens donuts. OK, ready for the icing on the cake? AWARDS. Scoogie won (we all knew Scoogie would win). So the awards are being given out and 1 girl won an award for both the Tri and the Du- wow, she must be good to place in 2 races when the rest of us only did 1. Then the girl who beat me in Athena (Melissa- she was very nice and very nervous- first timer) also took an award for her Age Group. Well, that knocked Sara out of 2nd in the F30-34. So she was pissed. I told the race director who's head was spinning at this time. He apologized and said he'd send her a prize too. So, the initial results were posted at the end of the race, but didn't take into account the wave starts. Once they adjusted the times, they were all messed up. How I lost 4 seconds on my time is beyond me. Wow, we spent $120 to do an organized workout. I'm pissed. This race sucked.

  • Comments: Great race for me personally as a first-timer. Other than the bike route fiasco, the race was very well-organized and small enough that I didn't feel overwhelmed. Will definitely do this race again next year if we're still living close enough to make it.
