  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race and wish I would've trained more for it...I needed a kick in the butt. I am glad I was able to finish - I didn't think I would be able to when I got sick in the pool, but it went away. It was fun hanging out with BTers afterward and at the Loring Pasta Bar, even though their service was definitely subpar. My overall rankings are for women only, I didn't account for the men.

  • Comments: My start time is 4:00 pm. There are pictures at http://triumah07.evidon.net but none of them are of me! :( This is a great indoor triathlon. The volunteers are really what take this race from being okay to great. Plus the goody bag is really great too. I am very very happy with myself here. The bike could have been better but looking at my two unusual circumstances I am very happy :) This was a great start to my race season!

  • Comments: This race would have been rated a 5 if they had more fans on the participants. I found it interesting that the bike area was an atrium with doors on both ends leading to the outdoors. Couldn't they have propped one open to get some cooler air in there? Perhaps I'll bring my own fan next year!

  • Comments: I love this race for several reasons. 1. It gives me something to shoot for in Feb. so I get my training kicked off. 2. It is a very well run race and the shwag is great. 3. With a whole wave of BT'ers how can it be anything but fun! I really enjoy getting together afterward to eat and socialize. The BT group is a great bunch of people!

  • Comments: My daughter, Autumn, is my inspiration and cheerleader. I wouldn't be doing this without her! So hurrah for Autumn! And thanks to all the BT people in our wave who were so nice to me! I really felt welcomed and MUCH more comfortable!

  • Comments: I went farther this year in all three segments, so I'm glad about that. I still have a long way to go on the run, but at least the IT band is in check this year. This race is very well run and they had a lot of volunteers this year. The goody bag is great, and it was a total blast having an entire wave of just BT-ers. Can't wait to do it again next year!

  • Comments: This was a good thing to do, if only to make me realize that I need to get more intense sessions in. I felt really good on the swim, so that was a nice surprise. It was a really well-run event and I will totally do it next year so that I can blast this year's performance. Total distance = 12.96 miles. 1st in AG, 4th overall women

  • Comments: these are the official results. i have been dethrowned as the #1 on the bike in my age group...and i blame the damn bike! the woman who heads the tri team i'm on was the top woman. go jeanne! she got 15.77 miles! she is a rock star. i got a sad 12.07. sigh. right in between the first year and last year...so no PR for me. maybe next year. since they split the results by gender, its going to take too much time to compare myself to the boys...so i'm just going w/ the gender numbers. pictures here: http://www.salt2salt.com/waitzpix/index.php?album=2007Tri-U-Mah&dis... http://beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid... distances: 2005 = 11.21, 2006 = 12.82, 2007 = 12.01 (i blame my bike!) i really enjoy this race. of the two indoors i've done, i'll rate this as 'the best!' i've done it the last three years and it is CONSISTENTLY WELL RUN. it was so fun to have so many of the MN BT folk there. we were the first wave, and it was ALL BTers (other
