Comments: I was really sad/disapointed after the race. I truely believed I had a chance to get an award and podium spot in my AG. I am fast out of the water (typically), and I held my own on the bike and run this time. I didn't see any of my AG pass me, so I thought I was good based on the limited field. But I missed it by one spot (4th).... I realized I will probably never be really good at this sport. My size is too much of a liability. I can try to get strong enough to limit the damage due to my size and weight, but I will never completely get away from it. It sucks that I'm starting to get into a really competetive AG too. I was top 30% overall, but only about 50% in my AG (4th out of 8). I wouldn't have even placed in the NEXT AG higher than mine either!

Comments: Race day was OK. Course was tough to get a handle on. Distances were off, the last 2 waves were almost locked out of transition(ran through pool area of Hotel), but race day came together fine. The finish line wasn't marked so people (including myself) ran right into where they were taking off the chips but there was a good crowd at the end.
