  • Comments: Ok, so this was just a local mini sprint but I thought it gave me a pretty good indication of where I am this year compared to last. My goal was to go pretty much all out since the distance is so short and finish sub 50. At both transitions and the the finish line I was completely gassed so the effort was there. Besides, few weeks back, Shawn(Sulcus) reminded me that if I get tire to just remember I'm a Warlock sooooo, I had that going for me :)

  • Comments: Overall, the whole day was nearly a perfect first race experience. My fiancee got a huge kick out of the announcer calling the race when he mentioned me. Even the BBQ afterwards was quite tasty and family were allowed to join in as well. I think the only real downer during the whole day was the way that raffle prizes were handed out. Not that I was expecting one but the groups of people shouting out numbers, those the race director knew and the age group winners were miraculously the first raffle winners and then the rest of us who had stuck around were asked put our numbers in a box. It sounds like sour grapes but I am just trying to be honest because it really was the only downer on an otherwise superb first experience.
