• Comments: Compared to Gold Rush, this is a much better tri - simply easier. The bike course is better and the run is better. I had three goals: 1) Break 1:20 2) Break 1:18 (was going to have too race well to do this) 3) Stretch goal - break 1:16 ( would have to really race well and transition well) - I thought I could do it but the match was fuzzy. So going 1:13:10 was unexpected but really pleased. The swim and bike were positives and the run was ok. Need to get faster there somehow.

• Comments: I will absolutely do this race next year. I'd also like to give a big thumbs up to those who stuck around to watch the last couple of runners finish. It was odd to have random people cheering for me since any competitions I've been involved in rarely had anything like that. But, if it is the norm, I can see why so many people love triathlons. The only thing I would think to change would be actual signs marking the Mount and Dismount lines. They were spray painted onto the ground and could have been made a little more visible.

• Comments: The Ballantyne area is beautiful and the Morrison YMCA is a fantastic facility. I can't wait for next year to come back.
