  • Comments: Well, my first HIM is in the books. Not exactly how I planned, but there will be another race to do. Probably the friendliest group of people I've ever raced with, maybe because it's was a very hard course on a miserable day. Volunteers were great, all families and people doing their best to make this a good experience. klassman wrote in the Ironman LP training thread" "Being at the finish line in Boston has given me fresh perspective to " not sweat the little stuff". Be happy." Good advice.

  • Comments: Black Bear half was a tough race for sure with less than ideal conditions, especially on the bike. I used this as a stepping stone to IMLP later this year. Overall, I am very happy with my effort and my results.
