  • Events on time?

  • Lots of volunteers to help?
  • Plenty of drink stations?

  • Post race activities?

  • Comments: It started raining shortly after the finish and got cold. I was doing this with a bunch of friends so we went to one of their parents houses for a post race barbecue. At least I had the fastest swim leg of all of them.

  • Comments: Another tri marks the end of my first tri season. Although it may sound as if I were disappointed with this race, I was not. Yes, I may have had higher expectations for myself, but I was still happy with the results and with the accomplishment. We stuck around to watch the Half IM on Sunday to cheer on Huskyboy (who did GREAT!) and also to see what it's all about. I plan to do that race next year. Now that my tri season is over :( until next year, I will go into the planning phase using what I've learned from the past three races I participated in.

  • Comments: I felt upset about how I did on this race which seems silly with PR for speed in both swim and run. My goal time was around 1:51 so I was just a little over that. Mentally I think I was stressed without my husband there, bringing 3 kids, bike issues, traveling to a Tri. It surprised me that I felt bad...part of it is that I was disappointed in my bike time and how hard the hills were compared to Mooseman which was 27.25 miles some 10 weeks earlier. Hasn't all the training I've done made a difference in my fitness? I didn't really enjoy the race..chaos at home made the logistics difficult and did not help in keeping me in the right frame of mind. Does this happen to others...just feel blah? Disappointed with performance? Frustrated at lack of progress in getting faster, stronger, fitter?

  • Comments: The swim was really crowded - as was transition. I had less than a foot of space for my stuff. The course was extremely well-marked and staffed. the volunteer staff was amazing - full of energy and enthusiasm. Drawbacks: they ran out of my t-shirt size during packet pick-up; they told me I could get it after my race, but today no one knew anything about it. Wasn't given a sport towel at the end (saw others carrying them). Very well stocked drink stations - Heed is yummy! I will have to try this. Needs more live music - I loved the drum guys at the run turn-around; the happy beat gave me energy! Overall, and amazing operation. I will certainly do this race next year!
