  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It's nice to do such a familiar course, and not so crowded. It's a challenging course and not too far from home. But it's expensive for what it is. I may not do it again and look for new races that don't cost so much for a sprint.

  • Comments: This being my first season of training, and my first year of getting back to health and a measure of fitness, I did the very best I could have possibly done yesterday. I had no equipment snafus, breathing great thanks to my inhaler, weather/nutrition/crowd all fine, great support from our coach (BT:mav) and among our training group. It was a great day.

  • Comments: The last time I raced this course was in 2003. I was 45 years old and 10 minutes slower. A colleague teased me that I was now a "full deck" on my most recent birthday. I do feel like I have come into "fullness" as an athlete somewhat. I am still slow in all 3 events but can now do them all with some degree of competence. 2009 was my first full year of tri training in many years. I am happy to still be making forward progress and still be training regularly since returning to work this fall. BT has helped me tremendously in this regard. Racing is hard. I have not developed the mental toughness needed to push harder in a race than when training. I guess this is partly what distinguishes one athlete from another. It is something I will continue to work on. I also find myself getting discouraged after the event is over. Even comparing myself to my AG doesn't seem to help. I need to let this go. I race because it gives me a goal and a focus for my training. Without a race looming I don't

  • Comments: There was a lot of confusion around the runners and cyclists. I didn't think they organized the swim very well either.

  • Comments: This was my first ever tri and I had a great time. I prepared by checking out the bike and run routes the day before and that really helped. I definitely finished much quicker than I expected... I thought I'd have trouble making it in under 2 hrs, but my swim and bike were both much faster than anticipated. Good time!

  • Comments: One comment, the race organizers needed to have more bathrooms! I mean for goodness sake, it was an all WOMEN's race! They should have TRIPLED the number of port-a-johns. Disgusting!
