  • Comments: First race so tough to judge as I have nothing to compare it to. Really happy that I did this and was able to finish. I wish I could have performed a little better, pushed myself a little harder, but overall I am thrilled I did this and can not wait to get back into it next season. Getting a race in this year really gave me motivation to train hard this winter and get ready for next year.

  • Comments: This race was so big. There were so many people! I did this race three years ago and it was much smaller. What I love about Sprints is the spirit of the race. So different from the Olympic! This helped a lot. I am a little upset that I did not even know what a competitive race time was. If I knew I probably could have placed. I did this race to end the season, and did not approach it as a serious race. Too bad!

  • Comments: I should title this report "the bitter report." Taking RI 70.3 out of the analysis, this race showed how much I need to get down to a competitive weight against the taller clydes. Still in the mid/high 220s and it really makes a difference (5'9" on a good day). Bike could have been a couple of minutes faster...run could have been A LOT faster. Major bright spot was the swim. As wifey reminds me, I can't complain about the result and especially about the results that triatlon has given me this year. Still down 50 pounds and counting since last November.
