  • Comments: 1st place 40-44 M AG, 8th overall for the race, so I was pleased. Well run race as usual. They messed up my swim time but allowed me to start way up in the line. I mentioned to the organizers that my high bib number put me at a disadvantage to others of similar abilities due to the configuration of the transition area. The fix for that was to alter the swim-out such that everyone had to run down a ways before coming back to their bikes, which I felt was fair. Although, this was a big change from years' past (you can blame it on me!)

  • Comments: Race started 15 minutes late, but with the Hurricane conditions, and slight delay is understandable. This race has normally has outstanding post race food, but this year it was only ok.

  • Comments: Complain as I might about my swim and bike times and not placing, I'm still quite pleased with my overall performance. My improvement on the run was particularly satisfying, as I've been working hard on the run all year (doing 6+ mi runs 1/week basically since April and also picking up my brick sessions in the run-up to this race, plus my similarly better-than-expected 10k at the end of the Dextro ITU Olympic length triathlon in June). Regarding the bike, I think I'm at the point now where I will need to spend some bucks if I want to see significant improvement. Even if I had pumped all of the hills, I don't think that would have bought me more than a minute or so on this course. Beyond that, I need a lighter bike, aero wheels, aero helmet - in other words 'bike bling'. I was very tempted to buy some fancy wheels earlier this summer, but I held back and decided to see how much improvement I could muster in this triathlon using the same equipment. I'm also saving some $$ to purchase

  • Comments: The only real beef I had was the whole turnaround issue on the run. If it's out and back, the half-way point IS the turnaround point, and the race officials didn't make that clear.
