  • Comments: The race was fun. I really enjoyed the course. I loved the calm ocean swim and the flat ride/run, but the lack of drinks and the confusion on marking the run just wasn't cool. I got the general feeling that the race was just a bit chaotic. Also, the drafting on the bike portion made me pretty mad. And the results are listed in a completely chaotic way. I'm having to look back and forth between pages to separate out event times from transitions. Results Event Timing did the timing for the race. On the plus side, it was a small, local race at the beach with yummy shrimp to eat afterward, and I got a medal for coming in first in Athena so overall, it was a very positive experience.

  • Comments: I am overall happy to finish, but disappointed my time was worse than last year. I know the swim was longer, but I don't think it justifies 6 extra minutes of swimtime. Even if it did, that would only prove I've gone nowhere in one year. I'm going to do an oly in the fall. I must get a better time over last year. My HRM crapped the bed on me. It would sometimes show a HR I could believe, and then sometimes give me 80 BPM - which looks like 1/2 the correct number. Unfortunately, it wasn't consistent so I can't double the average it gave me to get the right answer. As far as the race evaluation. What's up with no chips? We had them last year for both races. Luckily I hit the lap button on my HRM to get transistion times. Otherwise I'd have no idea. And they learned nothing from last year about the swim course. Instead of publishing the course in advance, they try to tell us on the loudspeaker right before start. Luckily we can all just follow the crowd. Seems like

  • Comments: Well, I'll have to say this is the best race I've ever run. I must do another this year to see how I can improve my scores.
