  • Comments: this is the second time I have done an HFP Tri event and I must say I'm not impressed. Both times the event was delayed for packet pick up, the water on the course was brown or rust color not sure if they didn't just grab it from the lake.

  • Comments: This was my second Olympic Tri. I am not one of the elite atheletes. By the time I finished they were breaking down the transition area. This was not the case in my first and it's not because I was faster then! Kind of bush league.

  • Comments: Some interesting things happened after I finished. I went to get some food after packing up Jeremy’s and my transition spots. I stopped by the Race for a Cure tent Emerson and his family had set up and grabbed a cupcake. They were delicious. The cake was very moist and they had tons of frosting. I scarfed it down and headed out to the post race food tent. I was loading up my plate with chips, cookies pretzels and other junk food (but no fruit) when I looked up and saw Lora manning the food table. We talked for a bit. Then she said, “here, let me get you a napkin.” I thanked her and stuffed it in my pocket. Then she said, “um, you might want to wipe your face.” I had a huge glob of icing on my face. Yes Lora, now you know I’m a slob. How embarrassing. The awards ceremony was going on a few feet away. I didn’t bother to go over because I wanted to get back and see how Jeremy was doing, plus I’m not fast enough to place. A few minutes later Lora comes running up to me holding a medal and

  • Comments: Good race to do. Not bad. Not awesome...but good. Needed more people at the water stops. Needed more people at the "check in" area. But none of these things made a difference in how I performed. YOU ASKED for a comment, and there it is.

  • Comments: Race was late but I expected that. The porta potties had toliet paper (nice). Small timing snafu that I feel a little guilty about- I was eating cookies and heard them call Davidtris and my name. I wandered over and they said "hey third place". I said "really?". I was handed a medal. I didnt think it was right but they had the computer in front of them. They said Davidtris finished first so I called him a hooker (bout 40 sec in front of me) and gave him congrats. I cant say I was surprised when I got home and saw the results were mostly correct except there should be a one in front of my finish. I dont know how they knocked out half the field but I now have a faux age group medal. My four year old likes wearing it. " I am a winner like daddy!". Aim high kid and someday you too can finish MOP.
