  • Comments: I was SLIGHTLY less impressed with the race organization this year, but I think it was partially because of the weather. WAY fewer volunteers. They also stopped handing out gatorade :( It kind of annoys me that they start the awards ceremony at the same time my heat is starting, so I never get to see the post race activities. But the vendors were cool and there was some neat stuff to look at. Some draw prizes or something would make it even better! Overall, I would recommend this race, particularly to people who are just starting out. The course is pretty flat and pretty fast and well marked.

  • Comments: The weather may have been REALLY crappy, but it was still a lot of fun and may have even given me a bit of extra motivation. There's just something about saying "F you" to the weather that feels good. I want to test out different pedals to see if they're any better and I want to keep working on my swimming. Overall, more brick training will be in the works, but I'm pretty happy with how today went regardless. F you, weather!

  • Comments: As my first race, everything seemed to be well organized. There was also a tri/du expo at the finish line, which helped draw out the crowds on this miserable, rainy Vancouver day. Also, the transition times were included in our race times, so I had to use the times I kept as laps in my heart rate monitor to know what my actual times were for the individual legs and transitions (which I really need to work on).
