Flat, fast, and fun! Greg and Brenda always put on a great race going back to the days of the Desert Princess Run Bike Run. Perfect season opener. Have Fun!

I did their sprint distance Pumpkin Man last fall. Even though I was wheezing after driving through the smoke from those horrendous (sp?) fires, it was quite fun. I was pure flat and fast. The lake was fine. Everyone around seemed to enjoy it.

Take everything I say with a grain of salt. I know nothing.

I did it in '01 and it was ok but just ok. I likely won't do it again but more because of the inconvenient (for me) location than anything else.

They have had their share of problems. A racer died getting out of the water (heart attack, I think) in '01 and they cancelled the swim because of low water levels in the lake in '02. Obviously, people having heart attacks and local precipitation are out of the RD's control but there were things they could have done to handle each situation better. Still, it was a nice, low key race and the course was kind of pretty (in a wierd, desert sort of way).

I don't know if she makes a regular thing of it but PNF was racing there when I did it in '01.

Anyone who tells you they're as fast now as they were when they were 18...
