  • Comments: happy with my performance, maybe i could have worked the bike a little more on the way out. definitely should have gotten on the water taxi earlier, but i wanted to stick around to get my award. my bike needs work, and my transitions (219th on T2!) - it would have sucked to not break 5 because i spent too long in transition.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race and had fun. (Because they didn't have overall results and I am too lazy to do the math, I just used the overall female data for overall rankings).

  • Comments: It was well done from an overall perspective but I could not find pizza at the end, I was looking for water (it was there but I was in a daze). But my pet peev is caution on the bike course. In town there needed more people to manage traffic. I heard of and saw several potential run ins with bikes and cars and I was one of them. Drivers were not paying atteention and some came in the right lane to go around the stopped traffic, only to wait to get back into the left lane, which then blocked the biker lanes. this may have happend since I was near the last wave and by that point drivers may have been upset at the wait? I'd also suggest wilmington Ports renting ferrie boats from other port cities to carry spectators back and forth. BUT, I could not even imagine what all it takes to set one of these up, so it must be hard work!

  • Comments: My overall goal for this race was breaking 6 hours although based on my workouts that was a rather conservative goal but I decided to err on the side of caution. I'm satisfied with this result as validation for the training I conducted during my first season as a triathlete. Now is back to the drawing board to look for ways to train better and continue to become a smarter and faster competitor. For next year I'm looking into attempting to break 5:20 at White Lake and then based on the results from that race either sign for the full Ironman at B2B or race the half again.

  • Comments: Great race. I am just iffy that it is so late in the year because it seems like the weather is a bit of a gamble although it turned out perfect for us on the day.

  • Comments: This was a P.R. for me- of course it was my first tri. I've heard this before but for me the race was the icing on the cake. The journey that got me here brings so many memories to mind that make me smile. It's good to challenge yourself.
