  • Comments: Basically the same total time as last year. A bit faster in swim & run, a bit slower in bike & T1. Mentally a PR would have been nice even if only by a couple seconds. But to be fair, this performance is probably indicative of the training I have been putting in. If I really want to start getting faster again, I need to step things up a notch. Total time: 2010: 2:01:30 2011: 1:44:56 2012: 1:45:04 I really love this event. It is a great course, and the site of my first ever tri, so I like to go back to see how I stack up. But it is sad to see the dwindling numbers - 1400 in 2010, 1000 last year, and only 850 this year. I think part of that is because CTA keeping jacking up the fees, and it is quite expensive for a sprint. I think they would do better lowering the fee and pulling more first-timers into the fold.

  • Comments: Love this race - it was my first. Especially loved seeing the handcycles out there, and it's not every race that fellow athletes have to stop to remove and adjust their legs. Hope the work with MedStar Rehab continues and that even more paratriathletes join us next year.
