  • Comments: Even though I was content on some level to just finish this race without any major incident, I was feeling a little disappointed about my time compared with last year (even though this might have been illogical based on my lack of training this year). But when I looked over the full results I was really pleased. I improved my swim time by a bunch and brought the gap between me and the top females from 40 minutes last year to 30 minutes this year. It's really cool to see the amazing athletes at this event. It's always good energy and good people. I'm inspired to stick with it and start thinking about my next goals and training more consistently.

  • Comments: Overall this was a pretty big achievement for me. I felt a little defeated after the swim seeing how far back I was, but now seeing the results, I was able to make up some time in the other events and I'm happy with my results. It's pretty cool (and humbling) to see how talented and hard core the Xterra racers are. My goals were 1. to finish and 2. to finish under 4 hours. This was my first Xterra and first longer distance tri. I'm still learning but the best par is that I had moments where I realized I was having fun - which is the point.
