  • Comments: I had a blast. It was my first triathlon, so everything was new and exciting. All the competitors were nice and helpful. Special thanks to Dave Flournoy who helped keep me calm before the race. Very nice of him to notice a very scared racer, he took me under his wing and calmed me down and gave great encourgement!

  • Comments: This was a well-run and very scenic race. What made it better was racing with all my friends. How cool to know that our group all made it across the finish line. Congratulations to Brian, Lisa, Robin, Kara, and long distance Will. Everyone had challenges to overcome but we all finished! I even managed to finish first Clydesdale.

  • Comments: This was a good challenge to test myself on. Since I did this race for social reasons more than the race itself, I only wish I could have spent time with folks after the race. I would have liked to cheer Lisa & Kara in. (Probably would have missed Brian anyway since I was still dying over in the grass when he probably crossed.) Next time I need to plan on staying the night in the town so that I dont' have to run off to get home for work the next day...

  • Comments: There is a great deal of reflecting to do with regard to this race. It's very unusual for me to be disappointed with my bike and thrilled with my swim and run. However, for a season finale, I can't ask for more than turning in my best performance of the year in my two weaker disciplines. In almost every race, I get to the run and allow myself to settle - it's been a pattern that I haven't been able to break. My body hurts, I'm tired and I succumb to the temptation of easing off and coasting to the end. I have never been able to force myself to push like I did in this race. It took all year, but I found a new place on Sunday and learned what I am capable of doing mentally. I don't think I was great physically in this race - the bike ride bore that out. However, I was able to focus my run and push through discomfort and pain like never before. I really hope I can carry this lesson and momentum into next season. My swim finally came together ten minutes into the last race of the

  • Comments: This was my fourth race of this distance, and my third time at Silverman. While I still have tons to learn about this sport, I finally feel like I know what I'm doing. It feels good to know that after 3 years of being a triathlete, I'm continuing to improve and achieve my goals. Looking forward to next year!

  • Comments: I didn't eat at the race, but there was a buffet with tons of food, drinks beer, refreshmetns, beer, free massage, beer. This is one of the best organized races with some of the best swag, a pasta dinner Friday night, pancake breakfast Saturday am, great food after the race and an awards banquet on Sunday moring with lots of food, No free beer at the awards banquet though.

  • Comments: Yes, I am a little disapointed that I can't figure out this distance. And had pacing problems ONCE AGAIN. And yes, turned in one of my worst (if not THE worst HIM times ever for me). Which is weird, because I was feeling fast and strong before the race. But overall? I had a great time! The bike was just so much fun and I love this course. I love the challange of doing these kind of distances. Just a lot of fun... Sad to say, my streak of a Silverman podium ends at 3!!! Not lucky enough to get one this year. Side note: Met up with the AZ BTers for a pasta lunch the day before. REALLY good time meeting them. ALSO! Special shout out to my friends from far away with good wishes for me. The support was great and needed! Thanks. NOTE TO SELF: Lose some weight, get a bit more fit, pace the bike, and fine tune nutrition just a bit more.
