  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I performed as well as I expected to. I forgot how brutal the hills around Oxford/Hueston Woods can be, so I need to train more hills, but in general, even though I finished the race DFL, I am happy with my performance.

  • Comments: A great small race with a really fantastic group of volunteers and organizers. You can't go wrong with a race that offers PBJs at the finish----unless you're one of those people who require having the crusts cut off. I had a great time---this was my first Oly distance as I prepare for a HIM in October and it was more challenging than I expected. A great vibe all around

  • Comments: The swim is wierd due to the shallow swimming area but otherwise it was fine. The bike course had a few poor roads but overall it was a fairly enjoyable course and i liked it. On the run they changed it this year to make it flatter as there was a sort of hill on the way out on the previous out and back. I did not like the maze and all the cutbacks and back and forths on the course they had. Otherwise it was flat and not too bad. Overall I was very happy with this race, first off I finished and I was slightly disappointed that I didn't finish in under 3 hours but that was sort of my dream goal for this race. Anything under 3:15 and I would have been happy. For the future just need to work on improving my fitness and efficiency in all three disciplines but it was a very good start.

  • Comments: A tough course. Strange shallow swim. Bike had more hills than I'm used to. Liked the run through the woods. Felt like a small event. Only 88 in the OLY. I'll probably do the GBC again next year and skip this one.
