... as a quick clarification note on the evacuations at USAT Sprint Nationals ... I think the main thing it truly affected was bike check out and the awards ceremony. I was there, raced in the second-to-last group to go off (it was F40-44 and then ATD2/ATD3/ATD4/ATTMI), was relatively slow (67/76 AG) ... and was almost back to my hotel a mile away when they announced the evacuations. The quick storm that rolled through WAS ridiculous, but if it affected any racers, it was maybe like two or three.
Also rooting for Fiona!

Ah fair, I had heard from a couple people who were still out on course but I think yeah 90+% of racers were done.
Does seem like Milwaukee had a lot of storms in the different years I've been at the event!
