Great job Kat! How did you like San Antonio for a visit? It is one of my favorite places but only for a very short time. We spent 2 days of our Honeymoon there, I love the Riverwalk because I love people watching.

Amanda...It was my second time to San Antonio. Yep, like River Walk but once you have done it, you have done it.
Plus I was trying to save my legs.
On Saturday we actaully left the city to just outside to Natural Bridge Caverns and went down into the caverns. THEY WERE AWESOME! That may have been the best part of the trip--besides the new PR.
BTW...was in the coral next to a women from Houston who had the done the Houston-Austin MS150 before...she missed out on getting in this year. But was cool to run into someone that had done the ride. But I guess w/ a ride that big, you are bound to find someone in Texas that has done that ride!katluvr

Yeah, I only do the Riverwalk and the Mercado once every few years. So it is new and fresh. I was born and raised in Austin area and have never been to Natural Bridge. DH has and said it was worth the trip, maybe I should suggest it for a day trip this winter.
And yes, if you meet anyone who cycles avidly in Texas they have quite possibly done the MS150. You are going to have a lot of fun when that comes around!Amanda

Congratulations on such a successful race!
The Rock & Roll group has taken over a Seattle Race for this next summer, and I was wondering how it would go. Overall was it well-organized at least? Well-supported?
Congrats again. That is a LOT of time to take off a race in such a short time! Hope you have been letting your body rest!

Jes,
Thanks!
It was well organized...for a crowd of about 30,000.
Some of the buses getting to the start were arriving still at 7:30, but that can be 2 fold....2 many folks waiting til too late to arrive at the bus shuttle sites, or not enough buses.
Finish...tooo crowded, they should of/could of spread things out more. But maybe it was just all the people not spreading out as they should.
I think they just need to make a few tweaks...to accomodate for the large crowd. Otherwise I think it was smooth. I also wonder if some bands cancelled w/ the cool/cold weather, probably hard to play intruments in that condition.
Would I do another R&R one? Yes!katluvr
