  • Comments: This triathlon felt really easy in comparison to all the other trathlons I have done so far. At the end of the race, I didn't feel as tired as I have felt in previous races. The end of the race just felt like the end of a normal workout.I think I am ready to move up to an Olympic distance triathlon (after I gain some bicycling speed!)

  • Comments: Funny...I went into the Athena division, where there were only 4 people. Came in 4th. I beat out one other person, who was a 17 year old girl. The was the only one in the female 15-19 division. Thus, had I entered that division, I would've placed 1st. Ha, interesting how things work!

  • Comments: For a first time hosting a Tri, I think OSU did a great job...The had cones and flaggers and officers all over the bike course. Felt like it was a little congested with swimmers waiting to start....i noticed several people with really high numbers starting way earlier than they should have. Bummed that there wasn't a race t-shirt. Overall, I was thrilled with my second tri experience, took a total of 12 minutes off my first time....and, I was first in my Athena Divison! Yeah!

  • Comments: Did not stay for anything because I did not want the boys to get bored standing around. HFP screwed the swim up but other than that it was a well organized race. Everything was clear in terms of navigation. Looked for BTers and even asked a few people but I did nto see anyone.
