  • Comments: Very expensive race. Racks were crowded, but the race itself was fairly well organized. The sprint cost $109.00, and for that I got an EAS bar and a fleece. WooooHooo. Of course, I did get the opportunity to ride my bike, swim in a lake and go for a runny type thing with a bunch of my friends... and I suppose you can't put a price on stuff like that. This is a sprint PR. With a longish swim. :)

  • Comments: This was my first race. I lost 20 pounds getting ready for it and I can't wait for the next one. Wish I would have found triathlon 15 years ago.

  • Comments: Overall, I feel like I had a good race. Could have done way better in the swim, but like I said, I think one more good off season of training in the pool should help. Lots of continued PT, while a pain in the butt sometimes, should help the IS pain...we hope!! Was really happy to finally meet some of the boys from BT as we've been e-mailing forever, and now I actually know what they look like. Had a very good dinner with Peggy and David (and his wife) the night before...even though it was just us four, the food was delicious! The offsite parking was a little annoying, and the walk back seemed to take forever, but walked with David and his wife, so that was nice. Like he said, it was a good cool down! I am totally making this my first OLY next year, 2008!

  • Comments: The Expo left a ton to be desired. The local races really need to work on these...there's generally hardly anything there. What fun is that? Aside from that, they really put on a good race. They were good about keeping us informed about what decisions where being made, considering the weather we had going on. They caught the break in weather we were going to have and went for it. Some of the volunteers left due to the weather, but those that stuck it out were great! As much as I waffled, I'm really glad I stuck it out. I will definately do this again...depending on how I progress, it may be the Oly.

  • Comments: They started 30 mins late but they was very useful because everyone was running late and it really was a mad house early on. I think they did a good job and the race went on. I am very happy that it did. The weather held out long enough for the race to end. Only real worry was I had was getting my car out of the muddy grass parking lot at the end of the race. Interesting look at what 1 year can do. 2006 swim 33:51 44/47 93.6 563/572 98.4 t1 7:57 45/47 95.7 566/572 98.95 bike 50:52 46/47 97.8 537/572 93.88 t2 3:27 46/47 97.8 540/572 94.40 run 38:48 46/47 97.8 531/572 92.83 in 2006 my best event by overall was the run and best in a/g was the swim. I was in the bottom 10% of everything. 2007 swim time 18:20 24/31 77.14 297/521 57.00 t1 4:54 28/31 90.32 445/521 85.41 bike 50:52 27/31 87.096 385/521 73.90 t2 1:45 14/31 45.16 247/521 47.40 run 34:32 30/31 96.77 453/521 86.95 I was not in the bottom 10% in anything this year. my best event overall was t2 and

  • Comments: Great race considering they had a lot to deal with. Rain, lightening, then people pulling out because of the weather. Overall I think it was a well run race. And the swag was brilliant. Nice bike shirt. For me, it was a fantastic race for me. Great warm up for Accenture next weekend. If I work it right, I actually might make the 1:20 I've been shooting for this year.

  • Comments: It was a great race for me, and considering that I think the swim distance was longer than my Danskin race, I'm thrilled with my time. I'm looking forward to doing the International race next year...unless I get really fast with the sprint and have a chance of placing. Let's see what happens when I get a road bike and learn how to run!

  • Comments: Very nice race. Need more buoys on the swim. A balloon arch at the swim finish would be a good idea, due to the sun difficulties. Need better parking near the transition area.
