I did the Olympic distance. It was a great race. Well run and very beautiful! You have to be careful to keep your eyes on the road during the bike course. This race has a 26 year history and is one of the oldest around. The run course is where the "mountian" comes in. I wasn't prepared for that, but somehow I made it. I forgot my timing chip and my racing bib at the hotel so I had to switch to an extra. I made a racing bib out of cardboard. This is definatley a race I want to do again.
