I am actually getting kind of bored listening to everyone (including myself in a big way) complain about the quality of these races. It sucks, but I guess the thing to do is just sit down, look at the past performances, and focus on trying to find that winning exotic. As a fan of the sport it sucks, but I guess we all just need to shift from fan of the sport to cold-hearted handicapper (most of us typically have a good mixture of both) when races come up looking like this.
So, if the tri isn't going to be chalky and be a repeat of the Jim Dandy, who is it going to be?
I'm throwing in Grasshopper and Loose leaf just for giggles.
