IMAZ Reports

So I've read a few race reports. Everybody mentions the high winds, which I expected. What I didn't expect were complaints about the bike course.

I remember looking at the map and the thing looked like a pretzel. Apparently many competitors (we're talking 25+ people here, including two pros) missed one of the last turns and wound up unintentionally cutting the course short by 6 or 7 miles. These people were all DQ'ed - except the pros, who were aware enough to ask an official what to do. The reply was: go back and finish the loop before continuing the run.

Ouch, that has to be super disappointing. Good thing T2 didn't miss the loop!
