  • Comments: This race was exactly what I needed. I was simply looking for a nice race that would have plenty of fan-fare. There was always something going on!!! Personally, I've been training like a surfer these past 3 months(meaning, I just go out and get dirty, hit the pavement, splash in the lake, etc...) so there hasn't been much "formal" training. So Im' not surprised my splits were a little off. However...my take it easy approach made this one of the most fun event's I've done in a really long time. I think I'll make this my "no pressure" race from here on out :)

  • Comments: I LOVED the new location. The Harbor is a beautiful location and is very spectator friendly. The course is challenging but very rewarding. The race was well run, well staffed, and the police did a great job directing traffic. I noticed some heavy traffic at some points and the cyclists had free reign. Seeing the pros and elite amateurs race was really cool and seeing them get their awards just adds to a terrific environment. I can't recommend this race enough.

  • Comments: So day before and all week I ate great. I had 3 32 gatoraide low cals and 32 oz water the day before from noon. 66 ish of fluids day of. I did pee 5 times before the race. I do notice my hr before the race is high 105-110 the whole time. I had 24 oz of fluid on the bike and a small cup water at all aid stations. I cant fathom how I was dehydrated. After the race pee was super bright glowing yellow so I know I was. It wasnt hot and I really didnt feel sweaty or hot on the bike. I need to figure something out. I did have fun. I felt like crap the rest of the day. Got home took a hot shower and was cold laying on the couch. On a high note I did PR my 2nd oly dist race lol. Beat last year by 4 min. So there is my little ray of sunshine.

  • Comments: This was my first big race and it was well put-together. Lots of on-course volunteers and everything flowed smoothly. From the moment I checked in to get body-marked, to the transition set-ups (every position on the rack was numbered), and all through the race (great signs, volunteers), it was great! It was a hard course but I'm glad that I got a chance to do my first Olympic-distance race at a first-rate event like this one. The nice weather didn't hurt either!
