  • Comments: This is still one of my favorite events. But they really need to get the timing issues fixed. Lots of mistakes and had to delay awards several times while they tried to figure out what place everyone came in. Food is also not very good.

  • Comments: Felt much better about this race than about the international on Saturday. I was psyched, because I really expected to do horribly based on how I felt before the race. And I started off so bad in the swim, I feel like I was lucky to get the results that I did. And almost a 4 minute improvement over last year - great news. 2010 results were: Swim - 8:37 T1 - 2:24 Bike - 52:43 T2 - 1:26 Run - 26:21 Improved everywhere except for T1 - happy with that.

  • Comments: Overall, another great race. I only wish I was able to do better. I think the cumulative effect of doing all 3 events really takes its toll. I was not able to stay around for the awards or post race activities. When I got home, I saw I came in 3rd in my AG for Lord of the Flies though. Wahoo! Glad I tried it this year.

  • Comments: It was a LONG weekend of racing, lots of tough competitors and newbies so everyone felt included. I absolutely recommend that if you are coming up for one race you really should do all three to become a LORD OF THE FLIES!

  • Comments: Absolutely loved today. Was dreading it going in, but I'm really stoked by my results. Not sure where the energy came from, but in all three legs I felt like I had more speed, endurance, and FUN. Loved it, and am stoked. Also I got the DAMN HAT as a Lord of the Fly. Pat myself on the back and get in line.

  • Comments: That was one heck of a weekend! I had never done back to back races like that so I wasn't sure how my body would do and I must say it responded quite well. I'd like to say I'll definitely be back next year, but it depends on my A races so we'll see.

  • Comments: I am happy with the results - top 20% of females specifically. Top 35% overall and top 1/3 of my age group. Especially for my 2nd tri of the weekend and 3rd day of racing the weekend. However, even better was how I felt immediately following the race. I felt great. Only now am I kicking myself about the bike because I've looked at my HR results. But during the race and after - I felt like I had really given it my ALL. I was psyched with my swim, felt I'd improved T1, and really made sure I felt like I had NOTHING left on the run. So all of those things were great. Overall my favorite race of the weekend for sure.

  • Comments: This was just a great event and a well run machine. The town was beautiful and the volunteers were the best. I thanked as many of them as I could. Endorfun put together a super event and the venue was perfect. I will definitely be back next year and I'm hoping to do the Lord of the Flies trifecta.
