  • Comments: Great race. I loved the swim venue and I loved the atmosphere. For the most part, there were lots of locals and first timers. not a lot of 'gear heads' and some people with some seriously old school bikes. i loved that. best part though - i had made a bet with one of my students about winning this race. The kid (ok, man) had never done a triathlon before but he stuck with the training and pulled himself through to a respectable finish. I was really really proud of him and nearly cried when we passed each other on the run (fortunately i was on the way back in as he was going out). He didn't beat me but he may have found a new favourite sport.
