PowerSprint Tri
great race -- lots of volunteers helping with everything, good courses and good facilities. And with the staggered pool swim, I got to watch the elite racers start, transition, and finish, and still had lots of time to prepare myself before my own start. One of the advantages of being slow!
I really appreciate all the efforts to go green this year -- they did a great job with that, having all solar-powered gear (the timing equipment and the race announcer), all compostable plant-based cups & plates, etc.
my one gripe was the post-race food. I want a bagel after a race -- it's easy on my stomach, it's standard post-race fare at a time when I'm not feeling adventurous, it's easy to pick up and walk around with ... so while there may have been good reasons to have "real" food (potato salad, pasta salad, not sure what else) at the end, it didn't hit the spot for me.
oh, and I LOVE the race shirt, too =)
The bike and the run really are about as flat as you can get, btw, making this awesome for a first triathlon (or a second triathlon after a three-year break from the first time around ...).
