Goodlord, what a fiasco.
How many years has this event been run?
But most important, when do you get your bike?

sounds like a very disorganized race, sorry, but great bike time.
And DB, sorry about all those flats, I tried to count how many they were in the rr, but it was too many.

Sounds like it'll be a GREAT bike, but Thanksgiving/Christmas is a looong way away... Originally Posted by divingbiker

Sadly, it will be here before you know it. It will probably be in the department stores around Labor Day Originally Posted by Tri Girl

Thanks for the race reports. It sounds like you made the best of a bad situation. Originally Posted by MDHillSlug

I'm baffled by this. I've heard that RD's expect a 10-20% no show rate but fully 1/3 is crazy! It just doesn't make sense. Originally Posted by Alex

UH! Sounds like a disaster! Sorry to hear that the race didn't go all that great.
Duathlon? No thanks. I have sworn off those myself."Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather, to skid in broadside thoroughly used-up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: WOW WHAT A RIDE!!!!"
