  • Comments: I won't rate this race because this and last year's are the only ones I've ever done. We had a new sponsor this year, and the swag was a little lacking, for the price. As I walked into transition to pick up my stuff, I began to cry, I couldn’t help it. I was really disappointed in my time because I was hoping to improve upon last year. I ran into 2 Y friends, experienced triathletes, who insisted that the swim was 200M longer than last year, and that wet roads slow you down, no matter what. And that I just couldn’t compare my times from last year. We shall see. I’m still ticked, but trying to focus on the positives: I didn’t backstroke, I had a great swim, even if it was longer. I ran the transitions, which I walked last year. I biked and ran in the rain, and survived. I had not trained as hard this year, and it showed. But despite that, I didn’t really do much worse than last year (not talking about the swim. LOL) I have lost 7 lbs. since last year’s race. I have now finished

  • Comments: I'd like to do it again next year, but better. I thought I would do it better this year. While I can say that the 5 extra minutes it took me this year was because the swim was so much longer than last year (the real 600 meters, which it was not last year) I just didn't swim or run better like I'd wanted to. I don't know why on the swim. The run I've been struggling with since I got that cold at the end of June, so I suspected that would happen.

  • Comments: Overall I would have to say I had a great race. I definitely could have swam better. Will definitely be doing it again! The women were awesome, the volunteers were great, and my family and friends who supported me were even better!
