I will say, though, that the more race reports I read about popular, large, women-only tris, the less I want to do one. Way too much "on your left" "on your left" "on your LEFT!" I can see why this one is special for you, but it had to be frustrating not to be able to actually race.

Sounds like you have a very long tri season up there. Things are definitely winding down in this neck of the woods. Looking forward to the results of wetsuit vs. non-wetsuit.
It is a little frustrating - I'm glad it's not the only race of the season for me. I am impressed with some of the age group girls that managed to finish top 10, they would probably rock the elite category if they were in it. It's a great experience, but you have to go into it with a different mindset.

My last is September 19 in Seattle, there's one more race here in Spokane on September 12. After that it switches to "running season" more or less, which goes through November (or later in Seattle, though chilly and wet).
