  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: So here's the thing. I made the podium again. That makes 5 podiums in my last 5 races and I used to *never* place in my AG. I've been doing these things off an on since '84...probably 150 tris, and until last year, I never..literally never placed in my AG. But apparetnly something has changed. I know my AG isn't any easier (M40-44 is tough, man). So...it must be my running. I'm still not great...but I'm definitley alot stronger than I used to be. So here's what I've learned: if you want to run faster, sure, running more is a good start. But what you really need to do is just run the hell faster, in training. No charge for that. Also: props to my TNTers. I brough 5 folks to this race, four who had never raced a tri before, and th eother was doing her second. Lindsay won her AG, and everyone else did awesome...all finishing strongly and smiling at th eend. The all rock!
