  • Comments: I'm a big fan of most anything playtri does. When I needed to get into transition I asked staci about my HR strap and even though she was busy she took the time to talk with me for a minute, & give me the info. I never save this file the right way on the first time... I think the internet is broke or something..

  • Comments: After all that time droppage from last year I still lost to my brother by 14 freaking seconds. 14 Seconds.....I wanted to get under 1:20 with a stretch goal of 1:15 so I am very happy with how this finished up. Did I mention I knocked 20 MINUTES off my time from last year? I also lost 20 lbs since that race. 1 minute per pound so I guess if I just loose another 20 or so pounds I will win the thing next year, right? I better loose 25 just to be safe.

  • Comments: How do you have the best bike split in your AG but only place 4th? Easy -gotta improve on everything else. My running is still not good. My swimming time is still the SAME (one second better is the same - ha) as it was in March! LOL! My running is WORSE! Speedwork...gotta get it back....I don't think my hurting quads really affected my performance that much...meaning it's no excuse for my poor running. All in all - I had a good time. It was great to do another triathlon with my best friend. I always say that the Old College Tri is my standing favorite, and I realized it was another event we did together, and where we travelled together. It was of course great seeing the BT group as always! They are always the best for cheering and encouragement. I really love these events...I looked back, and this was my 8th one - still new to the sport, and still loving it! I have met so many great people, and have made so many great memories! Also...triathlons are so much fun!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Woo-hoo!! A crash on the bike, and I still pulled first in my age group. Who'd of thought? And not just squeeking in -- I was six minutes ahead of the next person in my AG! (Now the 35-39 AG would have been a different story. I would have been lucky to have held on to 3rd there.) Race ran pretty well. Got started just a little late (15min), but transitions, routes, etc. were well marked and well manned. The pool facility is fantastic. The course was a little easy overall, but nice and fast if you want to test your speed training. The special division for the Fire, Police, and EMTs was a neat touch. Wish one of the fire trucks (and/or police cars) would have been open for kids to play on. Not much to do afterwards, but they did handle awards quickly once they did finally start.

  • Comments: on the results website they listed all clydes together, but for the over 40 I placed 3rd, so I'm not sure of my overall rankd or the normal stuff, so I did actually get some hardware. the nice thing about a race with the fire & police dept, is that there are quite a few clydes,

  • Comments: For my first triathlon I am very pleased. My family came out to support me and my brother flew in for this race and was there waiting for me at the finish. It was one of the cooler things I have done and now I can honestly tell people that I AM A TRIATHLETE!
