  • Comments: Even given that it's in mid-August, I may have to make this one an annual event. This is a great location with a good sized field. I had a blast. This is the first Piranha Sports event I've done where they didn't have sandwiches after the race which was dissapointing. All they had was bagged snacks which ALL had trans fats and the bananas and oranges had been sitting out in the sun so they were kind of nasty. Worst post-race food I've ever seen.

  • Comments: 3 stalls for the men and no porta pots. Waited in line 20-25 min. to use the bathroom which I would have liked to use to warm up, stretch, and mentally prepare.

  • Comments: This race was a disappointment to me. Based on my past times and last year's results I thought I had a chance to make top 5 in my AG. But no, I didn't even make top 10 or top half. I wasn't set mentally b/c of the loooong time it took to get into the park and then issues with the CO2 thing not working right plus the super hot conditions all-around. The course was easy, but it still got to me. I'm very disappointed with this. And I really need to do something about my running. Its getting super depressing that I could do so much better if I could only run faster.

  • Comments: This was the first time I did this race and I liked the course and the volunteers did a great job, but there were a few logistical problems that need to be addressed. If your going to put on an event with 900 or so entrants please rent a few more porta potties and put a few more folks at the water station. Aside from that it was a good race with alot of people.

  • Comments: Alright, so I got weighed in on Saturday because if you race in the USACFRF National Sprint Championship you can still compete in your age group. Unfortunately, I did not realize there were also seperate Clyde/Athena categories for the race. Apparently, I had signed up for Athena and not the USACFRF Championship. This pulled me out of my age group for the race, which was not my intention. I did get second in Athena and would have gotten second in the USACFRF. But, I also would have gotten 3rd in my AG. I am a bit disappointed, but oh well, I met my larger personal goals, so that is what is important.
