My race this past weekend was not great either.. I developed a case of "bad attitude"... I had 2 goals for the race, the first was a PR the second was an attempt to qualify for Worlds..both of those goals went out the window when they cancelled the swim, I need the swim to compensate for my weaker run. I totally understand why they did, no problem. My issues came with the abundant degree of blatant drafting and poor sportsmanship. I can not count the number of pacelines that passed me on the bike, when I called a group of females "cheating drafters" as the sped past me on the second lap their response was to blow snot rockets on me as they went by .. pretty unbelievable.. I decided to pull out after the bike..frustrated and disgusted with the cheaters. My first ever DNF. Anyway .. the 3 men Tricredibles at the race all qualified for Worlds !! They did say people were cutting the course on the run as well..since there were no timing mats on the out and back and loop sections Julia
