Event comments:

This was a great race for my very first one. This will be the last one for this season, and next year I will be signed up for more. Biking is my strongest discipline, so need to focus on swimming and running faster.

Made many new friends at this race and had an amazing time. I feel like I truly can accomplish anything. The training I did was so worth the end result.

Most important...My family and several friends were there to support and show their love, I simply can't ask for anything more.
