I think it was a great race and I was very surprised/pleased with some of the organization that I saw since they are not USAT, but I Mon, 04 Aug 2008 15:15:51 GMT t_cottam http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/262 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/262 Just a suggestion... I think that everyone who did not swim due to the incident in wave 6 should get priority registration for next year. If they want in, Tue, 29 Jul 2008 20:30:41 GMT Alice Schenk http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/261 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/261 Eric..here's the website and yes there was a photographer there. ...

They were Nike Kato 3's size 9.5.

The event seems to get better-organized every year that Tue, 29 Jul 2008 16:43:31 GMT mtngirl3010 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/257 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/257 I just wanted to say I really liked the T2 this year. Besides the sprinkler problem, I thought it worked great.

A USAT sanctioned event will require 1 kayak per 50 athlete for water Sun, 27 Jul 2008 01:26:28 GMT Alice Schenk http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/255 http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/spudman/message/255 Although there are plenty of things that will make a Race Director frustrated, there are not many that will make him cry.
