  • Comments: I dedicated this race to my sis Barbara, who, as I was racing, was having a bad chemo day. She was nauseous and weak Sat and Sun but a little better today. No matter how bad we hurt as we beat ourselves up trying for a good finish, there are those who are hurting a lot more just trying to live. Perspective, always keep your life and your racing in Perspective. I will do this race again. This course on a calm day will definitely be a PR. Met Mindy Carpenter and she had a great race. My pal Kent B. shared my campsite and managed a great race without crashing his bike. We rode the bike course Fri and again Sat afternoon after recovering of course.

  • Comments: This was a great race. Once again, GA Multisports put on a first-class race. I can't say enough good things about this race production company. They thought of everything: the transition area had lights when it was still dark, plenty of helpful volunteers, water and gatorade at every aid station, mile markers at every mile on the bike and run, large signs at either end of transition for the run and the bike (no confusion on which way to go) and results posted at the end of the race. The only thing they didn't have was alot of post-race food; our only options were cookies and bagels w/cream cheese. The swim was crazy but they don't have any control over people who missed buoys, the waves were so big I don't think the people in kayaks could see everyone. I would definitely do this race again and it's a course primed for a PR.

  • Comments: Good race; 2 hours 17 minutes not counting the 2 minute penalty. Good enough for second in my age group and top 20 overall. The two minute penalty cost me at least 6 overall positions, so not a bad race. Being that I dragged my wife to the race and I live over 3 hours away I decided to turn the race weekend into a vacation. I got a hotel for Saturday night as well and spent the rest of Saturday and Sunday relaxing on the beach. I recommend the race in this sense to anyone. The race was run very well and I was very pleased.
