Click here for my 2010 race review
The weekend was a family triathlon weekend. Triston did his first even triathlon. He did that Saturday sprint triathlon. He had a great time and won third out of three in his age group. He was excited to receive an award. You go to love small events where you can place.
Bonnie and I did the olympic triathlon. This is the same race I did last year so it is neat to be able to compare my results and see how I compared. My swim time went down by 3 minutes (but the swim course was different and I believe longer). I improved my bike by over 4 minutes. My run time improved by almost 3 minutes. Overall time was almost identical. This was a training race for the upcoming 70.3 Augusta so my transitions were designed for a much longer race so they were longer than they should have been.
Last year’s race review is still pretty much the same, C-. Almost all the comments are still the same. At least this year they started checking numbers as people left the transition area. This year still had no judges. Many people were cheating on the swim and drafting on the bike. The swim was so dark you could not see the people kicking you in the face (and that is no joke). I kick and got kick more in this race than all others combined. The run was nice and shaded but was pretty much a trail run. No support on the bike course. Only warm water was given out during the run. Post race was water, granola mix and bagels. BTW no race shirt was provided. They offered last year shirts to other races or $10 off to another race as a consultation. That is sad!!
At the race finish we all looked like we participated in a Muddy Buddy. We had dirt everywhere (i.e. on your face, in our ears, on our clothing, shoes, etc). Luckily there was a hose to rinse off with. Any white on our clothing was dyed by the dirt and tannic water. This race basically ruins white triathlon gear.
I will not be doing this race next year.
Sorry for the lack of pictures. I will post them later today.

Sounds like typical Buttar. I've long given up on their races. I am glad you posted this because against my better judgement I was contemplating the Baldwin Park Half, thinking that maybe they've gotten better but this solidifies that they're still the same regardless of the name change.
ReplyDeleteReally cool it was a family tri weekend and Triston got an award! Sounds like a race to skip in the future unless it is just too convenient and/or cheap to pass up. That's too bad since it would be cool to compare you results again next year.
