Great job BT! Even with all the complications and challenges (hills AND wind, yuck!) you finished strong. I agree with Tri Girl, maybe you should email the race organizers -- they might not even know this stuff went on. Most organizers DO want their events to grow, and making the ol' BOPers happy is one way to do that

For the last HM I did, it was a pretty small local race, and by the time the BOPers were coming in, some for their first loops and others for their second, everyone at the aid stations came to cheer. It was really great. I was a little worried about doing a small event, but this one seemed to go well.

I'm glad everyone finished safely. Now you have a time to beat for next time!
