• Comments: A lot of the reason this race sucked for me is because I just wasn't prepared for this type of weather. All my races so far have been nice weather so it was kind of a wake up call for me.

• Comments: During the race I kept telling myself that I needed to push it, and that this was my time to exhibit all of the hard work that I had put forth for months and months. I knew that I had the ability and the training behind me to finish the race and give it everything I had. I am proud of what I accomplished no matter what I say or how I complain.

• Comments: This race really separates the boys from the men... and I'm still a boy. Although I am happy with being in the top 1/3 of competitors, I realize how much more work I have to put into this sport. I am for sure going to hire a coach if I want to qualify for team USA. I know what sort of work I have to put in, and I hope that I can do this

• Comments: This one was a doozy. I did not train enough for the hills on the bike. The swim wasn't long enough for me to find my rhythm after that stupid start. The run - well. Things also seemed way too crowded. Transition was jammed, and there was no space to stand and cheer, or even wait in line for food. I didn't get food, because the line was insane. We also could not leave until 2, and everyone was in danger of freezing their sore little butts off. Not cool! Awards ceremony was vaguely interesting, but no awards for anyone who wasn't a super-fast freak of nature. Not even a raffle. Sort of pointless, unless your team won.
