I'm unimpressed it took so long to get them up though. <br />And I agree, the course for Ko'Olina is very pretty. But there are too many little problems for me. I thought Honolulu went much better than this race. The biggest problem might be that JJ, the race director, likes running a tri and a biathlon and a 10k and a 5k and this and that and the other. Too much going on. Makes plenty of money, but its an organizational nightmare. <br />Tri Cook- My shirt fits ok, but a Medium, you know, the size I ordered, would fit better. And I was hurting.The Weird Teacherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07865409578314612808noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819838484668336921.post-69383144157103623882011-10-18T07:32:47.902-10:002011-10-18T07:32:47.902-10:00Man, they screwed up the results for a lot of peop...Man, they screwed up the results for a lot of people. There were people who were in teams posted in the individuals. Some folks were in the wrong age groups. A friend of mine would have had a podium spot if they had put here in the correct age group. Another had their swim time posted as 3 minutes and change.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819838484668336921.post-9131283231052783982011-10-17T21:35:05.518-10:002011-10-17T21:35:05.518-10:00You looked like you just rolled out of bed when I ...You looked like you just rolled out of bed when I saw you in T1 that morning. I know the feeling though. Good call on taking the week off from training. Btw, did you try on your shirt? Tried it on after I got home yesterday. I swear I must have gotten a kids medium.Tri Cookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789748385712238257noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819838484668336921.post-54927662153562568352011-10-17T14:41:19.069-10:002011-10-17T14:41:19.069-10:00Wow, what a bummer!

Luckily, I only had to do the swim. <br /><br />I also agree with you about us 50+ guys going out before your age group for all the reasons you state. This has come up often in the forums. The explanation they give is that they need to shut down the course and they are worried that us old folks will be out too long.<br /><br />I thought the course was beautiful and I would really like to do it next year. Of course, I did not experience the things you did. In fact, I got a size medium $85 shirt! When did you pick up your packet? I got mine just before 6pm on Friday. Btw, this is the same organization that puts on the Honolulu Triathlon (just in case you did not know). I thought this tri was better organized than the Honolulu Triathlon. Again, I did not have the experience of doing the Ko Olina Tri the year prior to compare.<br /><br />Wish I got to meet fellow blogger Tri Cook!<br /><br />Use this experience as fire for your next triathlon!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04846136358775915126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1819838484668336921.post-582624268107044372011-10-17T13:04:16.329-10:002011-10-17T13:04:16.329-10:00Bummer.
