  • Comments: I don't know how my time was slower than Millerton Lake when the course was easier and I felt much more efficient and fit. Disappointed...

  • Comments: The only "negatives" about this race were the lack of communication prior to the race (Kemah, and all of the Onurmark series triathlons have, by far, the best communication prior to the race -- Encinitas was pretty good in the couple weeks leading up to the race -- this tri, the communication was really quite poor, but the event itself was organized pretty well on the day of the race) and that it didn't seem quite as competitive as some of the other races....though I guess I don't mind placing reasonably high :)

  • Comments: Very surprised and excited to win a race of this caliber since this was a USAT Age Group Regional Championship and Age Group National Qualifier. I know the Sprint was a little easier than the Olympic, but that's ok. My first Olympic will be in a month on almost the exact same course...I'll be ready to go for that. Gonna keep the training volume up and try to go sub 2:15...I'm pretty sure I could have gone around 2:10-2:12 for this course, but by looking at the swim results from the Olympic, I believe the swim was short. Next race might have a more accurate swim, so the goal is still sub 2:15 for that race.

  • Comments: I had a really good time. There were times during the race when I thought “this s_cks”, but at the end, I had that feeling like, WOW, look what I did! And I feel so good! Saw some BTers, GailG and Van_Paulus, plus a guy I work with and a few folks who I have met on various training rides with LATri. Nice to start knowing new peeps and seeing familiar faces out there. After the race, went back to the hotel and spent about an hour in the hot tub (with alternating dips in the cooler pool). That was FANTASTIC! Met 2 other racers in the tiny tub too, another newbie named Nina, and her boyfriend (I assume!), named Dana! The hour drive home was hard…had a hard time keeping my eyes open.
