Race Reports for Washington D.C. Triathlon - International Distance CANCELLED For 2012 2010

Race rating (5)

Comments: Being one of the last ones to finish, I was very happy to see post-race support going strong. Lots of water stations, and that was greatly needed and appreciated. I really liked the course and the support, and even though it's one of the highest priced Olympics, I'll be back next year. I've got a lot of room for improvement for next year's race, so I am really looking forward to keeping it together and doing much better next year. Final note: Kind of funny, but you'd think the bus driver from the finish line to the transition area would know the way after umpteen trips. We had a very long scenic tour of downtown, Virginia, and back to transition from the opposite direction. I didn't mind. I was enjoying the AC and the other athletes stories of the race.

Comments: After Macon two weeks prior and the dsiappointment out there, I was ready to have a good race. I told my fiancee the night before that it felt like it was going to be a good race, and mentally I was dialed in. I ran a PR by about 15 minutes, crushing my time from NY in 2008, the last time I had raced a serious Olympic. My goal time had been a 2:20, outside goal of 2:15 to hit the age group elite qualifying mark. As it was, I knew coming off the bike I had a cushion to hit that, but still pushed as hard as I could. My running still has a ways to go, but I was very happy with it. A third place age group finish and a time that would have placed me 11th in the elites was very, very satisfactory.
