  • Comments: Overall: 6:38:53. Course Record! At first I was pretty upset about how the race went when I finished, but looking back, I had an awesome race, had PR’s on the Swim and both transitions, faster bike than last year, and a faster run than last year on a course that is tough. So I guess it was a good race all things considered. Having teammates there is priceless, nothing like seeing the JFT team at the finish line, although I’d like to get there a little earlier next time! Thanks coach Jill for the encouragement as I really thought I would have a much tougher time

  • Comments: Once I got into T2 and over the fact they had apparently mismeasured the bike course I was fine. happy to finish and to enjoy the event. I didn't have my A game today. Maybe a B-/C+, but I felt very good about my effort considering conditions and my bonehead mistake of leaving my nutrition in my car. If the weather had been better it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. Also, the volunteers at the aid stations were a bit sparse. The ones that were there were tremendous, but they seemed understaffed and the "forgot we had gel" at the first couple aid stations was a bit puzzling. The bike course was hard. Very technical too. Not one you could get aero and just crank out your best speed. Lots of climbing and fast descents and lots of turns. The hairpin on the 2nd turn was downright dangerous. No signage, no volunteers that I saw. Maybe I missed them. If that poor woman hadn't wrecked, it would have been me or someone else. There also was not great SAG support

  • Comments: I thought this race was fantastic. Great support, great course. It's hilly, but I like the challenge. The scenery is fantastic and the post race event was well done. Cudos to the RD.
