  • Comments: Very good race with a tough, tough bike course. Transition was a mess without enough racks and some very rude people. All I can say is if you want a good transition spot get your lazy butt out of bed earlier! Don't come in late and expect me to be happy that you're parking your bike on top of my transitiion setup. The official race results had me 3rd in Clydesdale but the announced winner had an amazing swim time of 8 minutes! Obviously he started with his regular age group, 20 minutes ahead of when he should have. His official time was figured on when he should have started instead. No big deal, although the guy that should have received the 1st place ribbon and bottle of wine is probably a bit upset if he's noticed this! Overall good race, close to home, beautiful day...all good!

  • Comments: Fun course - they call it the "Scenic Challenge" and it is both. Spectators scattered throughout the bike were a welcome distraction on the hills. Cd'A park is a great start/finish area. Would have liked to have finished better in my age group, but met my goal of finishing my first Oly in under 3 hours.
