  • Comments: Note that this is really a 4.5 rating for the race. Additional comments after finishing: Well, I try to look for others to congratulate and eventually find Rosalind and Catie. Both finished and Catie survived the swim (yea!). Congratulate them, tell them about getting 4th. Talk about the race more and then head back to see about picking up my gear. And as you might expect, the gear awaiting me is pretty much mud-covered (the word of the day): sandals I walked around in, running shoes, bike wheels/bottom portion of the bike, towel, wetsuit, and googles. Got some cleanup to do later. After taking gear back, I thought about just going home, but stuck around for the awards to congratulate Kip, who took 1st today in Master Clydesdales, and Lucas, who won overall despite the 32-spoke front wheel on his bike. Some nice beach towels this year for AG awards. Dang, could've used one of those too. Well perhaps another year. Say my goodbyes to folks and head on home. Results were posted

  • Comments: I don't have any tri races to compare this too, but overall I'd say this was a good race. It was well run and I had no issues that could have been controlled by the event management. For my first tri, I'm happy with the overall experience. I did fairly well in relation to what I was projecting based on my training (about a 1:25) and found the areas that I need to work on for future races.

  • Comments: The race itself is well put together. The only negatives were a result of the previous day's weather which obviously is outside the span of control of the organizers. Great atmosphere both pre & post race.

  • Comments: My first race but it was very well organized and had a great atmosphere - enjoyed every part of it. Maybe organizers could have done a little more to handle the all the mud from the day before - e.g. putting out more mats in critical areas before the sprint started.
