That is some seriously neat commentary. Glad you turned it into a neat day.
The water issue for 50 miles is simply inexcusable under any and all circumstances. '92 GFT and we had no water from 70 on in and it ruined my day. Got off the bike with horrific cramps and awful nausea from 46 miles(yes Fred went a bit over budget on the course) w/o water in Florida heat. That was before the days of gels so it was impossible to eat w/o fluids to wash down PB's. I realize that was an early Sommer Sports race and he was learning the ropes on being an RD....he runs a great series now. IMKY is the damn big time MDot, pay through the nose race series. I would go ape shit as a racer with no water for 50 miles.
