  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Two imporatnt lessons came out of this race. First, I need to take in more calories for races longer than sprints. Second, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN, SUNSCREEN. My shoulders ended up getting burnt so bad that I can barely move today. You know you've made a planning error when you get through a race that lasts nearly four hours, and the worst pain you feel in the aftermath is a sunburn. Lesson learned! Anyway, this was a great race overall. It was a challenging race on a beautiful course. I had a fantastic time, got to spend a lot of time with Jenna going to and from, and got to see some great friends at the race. I got everything that I could out of my body which is all I can ask for at any race. I finally had a good open water swim (FINALLY). I have improved on the bike on hilly courses, and well, we won't talk about the 'run'. Even though Pumpkinman is harder overall, I feel like I will be ready for it this year, and it won't kill me like last year. This year, it would be nice to

  • Comments: DCB did an amazing job at pulling it all together. A year ago I would have put this course as "too hard" but I did it, and I look forward to doing it again!! And the best part: my husband is sick of working on my bike and agrees that we need to get me a new one. Woot! :)

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I think they could've been a little more organized and probably should've had an aid station on the bike course. The course was very challenging and had beautiful scenery. I first thought that I wouldn't do this again, but now that I've had time to think, I really liked this race and would most likely do it again.

  • Comments: Seriously this was probably the best triathlon I have done it was a beautiful course, a tough bike, tougher run, all culminated with a dip in a pool. How can you go wrong. On top of all that this is our stomping grounds where we train all the time which made it that much more special. I definitely think this is the cream of the crop for Phoenix area triathlons. The RD and volunteers have a tough task organizing this race and they do a fantastic job. I will definitely be back for more.
