  • Comments: The question on "overall course based on my ability" is a difficult one to answer. For the sake of pride, I have to say just right, but you would have to be a fool to say too easy.

  • Comments: Overall, I had a good time(even though the race report seems depressing). I learned a lot about the mental aspect of the sport. The best part was seeing my family at the finish line so proud of me. I will learn from my mistakes and now I know what I need to fix. It was my 1st HIM so I know I can do better next time!

  • Comments: they changed the bike course and made it a much tougher, that's why it took me 40 minutes longer compared to timberman last year. still fun race!

  • Comments: This was a great race. Very well organized and supported. The course is very difficult but it is certainly doable! Overall I learned a lot of good tips and tricks to take advantage of in Lake Placid next month.

  • Comments: I say the overall course was just right based on my ability - but it totally kicked my butt. But I can't say it was "too hard"... because then I have no business going for the Ironman in 7 weeks. What I feel best about is how I feel today - the day after. I feel great. All loose and happy - walking up and down stairs just fine. Yoga was fine. I didn't feel like a tin man. Last night I ate protein for dinner, showered, put on my compress Rx shorts and calf sleeves and laid down - went to bed at 9pm - woke up at almost 8am - and just feel really good. So I think that's awesome news. I'd like to have performed better on paper, but as I break down the race, I think I did really well for me. Just that everyone else did better. :-) I am also a little concerned because as I laid in bed last night - I realized I would still be racing at that time in 7 weeks. As I got off the bike yesterday, no part of me could imagine going for 2 more loops. The bike is the toughest for me mentally...
