  • Comments: NOTE: Over all results includes Mens division only. Based on the sprint I did the week prior I took many things away from that, all of those slight changes worked well. This was the fist tri I was able to race with my training partner Steve(we are in the same AG). I was ahead of him coming out of the water and off the bike but he is a phenomenal runner and it was only a matter of time until he caught me. The water was a bit of shock as Steve normally has my number in the pool during the longer distance swims, the bike we are a close match. Once the cramp hit, I knew the podium was out of reach, now all that mattered was finishing as strong as I could. I am proud I never stopped running and kept my average pace under 8 min/miles as well as getting 4th place in the AG. This was a good learning experience and something to build on.

  • Comments: Nice setting at Buckroe Beach in Hampton. Transitions area was good. Little bit of a run to transition after the swim, but that was because of the start location taking advantage of the tide/wind. A few rough spots on the bike, but all in all a good course and race. I'll come back.
