need to keep working on increasing my turnover rate and to keep going to long rims for endurance training needed for 70.3 runs.

Event comments:

Race has seen lower participant numbers in recent years. In the 1990's race served as a regional USTA with numbers of 400 participants. Nice local event that isn't very expensive. Interesting to learn my performance was my fastest ever despite having done this event since the mid 1980s.

My First Olympic Triathlon

I looked at the swim buoys and start thinking, "Man! How am I ever going to swim that? That looks like a very long distance from the bridge. I have never done it in one go." There's no turning back.

Experts agree, doing a “mock,” triathlon on the course you’re racing can aid you in your training; performance and most of all quell some nervous energy.
