  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I wouldn't say this is "too hard", but very challenging. Would like to improve on times next year. Loved that this was a smaller race - not as many participants, but majority were serious athletes. Would need to shave over 10 mins to podium based on times this year.

  • Comments: Great race, tough course, good organization and people. Had a lot of things go bad, but hung in and finished the race. Not the time I expected, but even though the SAG wagon was lurking, I stuck with it. Great deal of learnings for the next Olympic I do. Super weather and Alex & I both finished. Even a bad day at a Tri is better than a lot of other good days.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was the hardest thing I have EVER done in my life, I actually had to keep telling myself that "pain is temporary, quitting lasts forever. I lost track of how many times I wanted to stop and just go home but I kept on going. It was also the most rewarding feeling I have ever had crossing the finish line with my children running along side me and encouraging me and my friends and family supporting me.

  • Comments: I need lots of practice to tackle a course like this with confidence. I am eager to train to tackle the run course, but I need to flush my mind of the sticky hot water by next year. Sagebrush catered the food afterwards(get someone else! It was bad!) Everything else was great. One day again.

  • Comments: I met Spot right at the beginning of the race! Super nice guy. I think I was rude to him because when he came up, I was trying to decide if I should try and transition out of my back pack or not. I tried to find him later, but couldn't. I really wan't trying to be rude. I'm generally a nice guy. I thought it was awesome that he looked up my number and took the time out of his race to say Hi. That's the world of BT in a nutshell. I took this race in stride. I was very vocal to the other racers. I wanted to make sure that everyone else was having a good time. If I passed people with cowbells, I encouraged them to ring them. On the second loop, I passed some people and I encouraged them with all my might. I think it helped them. I actually had one guy come up to me after the race and say Thank You for giving him a Thumbs up going up the hill. I was so out of breath that that's all I could give him. He said it motivated him to finish running up the hill. I was pleased that

  • Comments: will definately do this one again. It is a challenge, pardon the pun, but a fun one. I want to come back next year and cut down on my time on the bike and run.
