  • Comments: While I'm very disappointed with my time, about 32 minutes off my PR for this race, I'm not too discouraged because my training's been going well and my fitness is where it needs to be. The combination of a very bad plan and bad luck did me in. Oh well, at least I got my bad race out of the way for the year. The rest will be easy.

  • Comments: I let my mental preparedness slip in this one, which I'm kicking myself for now. I should have just calmed down in the swim and taken my time, realizing that the world will not come to an end if I take a little longer than I originally thought. And...I will never do anything new on race day EVER AGAIN. Overall, it was a great experience and I CAN'T WAIT to do another one!

  • Comments: Love this race. Loved swimming in the Schuylkill. The only complaint is the crowded bike course.

  • Comments: Welcome to my world of self-doubt and poor self esteem. I set a goal of 3:30- beat it by 16 minutes. You think I'd be happy, right? No, of course not. I had to go and compare my results to Andy, Steve, Ed, and Christine and was bummed that I was slowest in every aspect of the race. I tell myself every day that I'm out to race against MYSELF, no one else. (Oh, and by the way- I'm not even close to the talent and speed of those 4). Yet as soon as I cross that finish line, I want to compare myself to everyone else. How can I be disappointed in myself if during the whole race I'm "just racing against myself"?????? So that being said, I beat my goal, had 5 people on the course cheering for me, and found our son's inspiration poster. If you figure out my problem, let me know. I don't know...... wish I did. What can I say, I'm a dork. BUT, a dork that just finished her first OLY. EAT THAT!

  • Comments: While the bike gets a little congested (especially on the second loop), the race is very well done and it's right in Philly which is nice. And, of course, when you get weather like we had it makes everything seem better and the little "nits" fade to the background more.

  • Comments: Despite feeling ill, I had a great time, starting with the expo on Friday. This is a great race. The weak link will always be the water conditions for the swim. Thankfully, everything lined up for yesterday.

  • Comments: I thought the Kayak girl should have notified me sooner that I was way off course, but I am unsure of the rules? Other than that....everything was fine and fun.

  • Comments: Took Endurolytes in T1 and T2 which I think was a major factor in my performance. Not even a hint of cramping

  • Comments: My team rocked! We got first out of ALL the relay teams. I was definetly the weaker link, so I feel like I don't deserve the win. BUT, I have to remind myself that I still did good considering it was still only my 2nd OW race. And even though I swam more distance today, I improved my pace. Next year, we'll totally smoke the other teams.
