  • Comments: It seemed a little off this year. Like I said, they had all racers under 39 start in wave 1. That is too many for a large race. I asked about the starting time difference at the start of the race and at the end but they said that they couldn't change it because it was USAT rules. However, they changed the winner's age group because he did not know about the new birthday rule. That is also a USAT rule, if they could change it for him, they could have changed it for me. I wasn't going to medal, I just wanted my time reported correctly. I was dissapointed in their decision, but I know that I hit my own PR, so that is enough for me.

  • Comments: This race is a PR for this distance. Technically it's faster than Wildman, but those distances were skewed. The 800m was no more than 700, the bike was 11, not 12 and the run was 2.75 miles, not a 5K. This is the best effort and hardest I've pushed so far this year I think. I gave it everything I had, I remained positive the whole time and I never got psyched out or angry. I wound up being 16 of 36 in AG, so that meets my top 50% in age group goal...and I was 206 out of 649 overall...so that's within the top third overall (31.7% exactly)...I can't be happier about the results!!! This was definitely my best race of the year so far in a great many ways. I'm so happy my mom got to see this race and not another, she'd never seen a triathlon before yesterday (she was with me watching Terri's supersprint) and she'd never seen me race a tri before. This was the pinnacle of a wonderful weekend with friends and family. Awesome race today, I'm sooooooooo happy! Well, except for the
