  • Comments: For me personally this was a huge milestone because I set a PR by breaking the three hour mark. Plus the running strategy against #150 showed me I can think during a race. I left this race feeling like I took a step forward as a triathlete.

  • Comments: I thought this was a great race! I didn't think it would be so small, but it wasn't a big deal. I'd like to have placed better in my AG, but I PR'd by about 9:00...so I'm happy with that. I knew it was going to be fast going into it, so I wasn't expecting to place anyways.

  • Comments: Not a good race, but I think part of that was due to a stomach bug. My stomach felt worse and worse as the race went on. On the drive home, I stopped and got McDonalds, and a few exits later the McDonalds came back up. I was so thirsty but couldn't drink anything for fear that it would come up too. I threw up a couple more times at home, and I felt like crap for the rest of Saturday and Sunday, and still feel a little cruddy today. Talk about bad timing. I'll file this race away in the "experience" folder.

  • Comments: This was a valuable race and I think will do more for me in the future than had I trained and done well. I learned a valuable lesson about my swim, I learned something about my nutrition during the bike, and I learned a great deal about what i need to do mentally if I really want to improve. Time to focus.

  • Comments: Good race, and I would really like to come back next year and really race it. No serious hills on the bike, nice easy run course. They really need to mark the swim better though - that was disasterous!

  • Comments: They needed more signs at the begining to show where everything was. I didn't realize until someone told me that the Oly swim was at a different place than the bike/run transition area. I happened to overhear some people talking about it.

  • Comments: Normal GA Multisport-run event. Most things are well done with a normal issue on the swim. Pleased with everything else.
