Event comments:

WTC always does a good job with this race. This is my 6th consecutive year doing this 70.3. I am thankful to be able to have done this every year with a fairly decent time, although I would have liked to see the times come down a bit more LOL. Oh well.

I really enjoy doing this home turf race, it never gets old. It's tough, and satisfying.

This year was especially nice with tame winds and calm seas.
