  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Although there are some bright spots, this was not the race I was hoping it would be. I really wanted this to be a 'statement' race, where I put everything together and really showed what I can do on a good day. I had adopted the mantra 'leave no doubt' for this race. I wanted to erase the problems that I have had in previous races and demonstrate that I have learned and improved all the way around - decisively. I didn't entirely come through as my run was a little off what I wanted and the swim was a disaster. However, it was, overall, a good race. Since the swim was a terrible, my overall placement suffered and I came close to wriggling out of the back of the pack into the middle third (70th percentile). All of the other numbers look good. My transitions and run were all in the top half, and the bike was in the top 20%. I'll still have to wait for the 'put it all together' race, but maybe I'm getting closer. I need to put the swim out of my mind. I can't have it haunting me

  • Comments: I really try to have fun with races and not worry too much about things out of my control. The bike course was tight with narrow lanes, several turns and 1200 people on it. The food simply did not compare to the Monti's catering of last year. Not even close. It is always fun to hang out with my friends and meet new people. It just makes racing much more enjoyable.

  • Comments: I would have really liked this race had it not been for the subpar bike loops. Glad I only had to do two!
