What a bummer, but congrats for sticking it.

I don't know why they let people mill around at the finish line. See Jane Tri was like that last year. All I wanted to do was sit down, out of the way and there was this one guy who just would not get out of the way. I swear he kept stepping in front of me, every time I tried to go around him. And of course you've just finished racing, so you have no breath to tell him to MOVE.

But then they're all, "If you're not a competitor, you can't go into the transition area." When I want Thom to help me lug all my stuff away.

Barb's Race was great. They actually had catchers at the finish line who handed you a bottle of cold water and walked you out of the way and to the outdoor showers they had set up. Somewhere in there they took off the timing chip too.
