  • Comments: Not the best food at the end of the race variety wise. But very nice volunteers. A local race through a lot of neighborhoods with some residents outside watching/cheering. I love the local feel of races like this that get the community involved and don't just race through parks and deserted areas.

  • Comments: Good enough for 3rd in my division. But not thrilled with my performance. I have no one to blame but me for that (training has been off what it was last year). Here's a comparison of the two races: Swim t1 bike t2 run total 30:09 1:33 1:42:21 1:11 41:34 2:56:46 32:34 1:30 1:30:07 1:08 44:36 2:49:53 Note that this year was MUCH hotter and more humid, whereas last year was nearly ideal. Last year I flatted on the beginning of the bike.

  • Comments: This was my first Olympic race, noticed there are more seriously trained athletes at this distance. I like the distance and was overall happy with my results due to the personal issues I had to overcome. Just starting the race was tough. Big thanks to the support from my family and friends.
