  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Earlier this year, I had a condition pop up that made me really susceptible to fatigue. This made training pretty much impossible since I would be spent after 5 minutes. I finally was able to get on the medication about 3.5 weeks before the race. So with 3 weeks to go I started training. My focus was the swim, since in my opinion, that was the only place I had a shot at dieing. So I spent 2.5 weeks in the pool. I'd gained enough confidence (doing 500 yards in 12 minutes with no stopping) that I felt I could do the race. I knew the bike and run would be a struggle, but I didn't care. I would have fared much better if I could have breathed out with my face in the water. But oh well, challenges present themselves in any race. I got through it. My time sucked, but just finishing considering the short training time was good enough for me.

  • Comments: Piranha always does a nice race; very organized, on time, plenty of volunteers. They have it down. Today they did a kid's tri before ours, pushed us out of transition an hour before the start of the race, which was a little bit frustrating, but understandable and not that big a deal. Venue was nice too, with real bathrooms! I'm just glad I got my number two out of the way before the ladies decided to take over the men's to combat the line to get into theirs.
