  • Comments: This was my 2nd triathlon ever so I made plenty of mistakes. I also had a 3-week hiatus from training which really hurt me. The staff and volunteers were all very helpful and friendly. It was a good first race of the year. Next time I'll be more prepared for cold water~

  • Comments: Goals going into this race were primarily to have fun, secondly to see how the run was coming. Those goals were met with spades therefore it was a successful race. This was a good reminder that just because it is a sprint it doesn't mean it's easy. I've been in such a distance mind set all last year that I forgot how challenging it is to try and go fast! I know I'll never see a podium due to my lack of run speed but I've made huge improvements in my running over the years so I'll continue to work and keep having a good time.

  • Comments: I really like this race. FS did a very nice job- very well organized. I like the lake a lot, the bike course is challenging but nice and the run is the same. I am really glad that the results were up quickly this time but a pity the overall results are messed up (they haven't subtracted out the start times yet) and there are no rankings for the SBR parts relative to others. Hopefully they will sort that out. Turns out that 40s is what separated me from #19 and #12 overall, so that wasted time actually cost me quite a few places in the standings. Turns out I came in 2nd in my age group- about 80 seconds slower than #1. So fun to place. My brain was frazzled before this race so I am not surprised at the lack of clarity in decision-making. Just lots going on at work and at home with Ryan getting sick on Fri night. For Kure Beach I am just ditching the garmin and am going to stop overthinking all this. Turns out that 40s separated me from 19th to 12th place. Sucks to have basically

  • Comments: Love the new timing system with the automatic results. The posted results online (right now) are kind of messed up. But I know FS will fix them asap. FS is awesome! I love their races!!!
