  • Comments: I love this race, it's such a fun atmosphere and I get back to work feeling like I had a mini-vacation. It was great having over 20 members of the club at the race, I'm hoping we'll have a big group next year as well. This is a race that is definately staying on my schedule!

  • Comments: The goal for this race was twofold: meet a bunch of BTers, drink beer, and not hurt my knee. Wait, that's three things. Anyway... :) Had a great time meeting everyone at Marino's last night! I need to add a bunch of people to my log list, so I can check in and annoy you now. This is going to be a fairly short race report, as I'm too tired to be elaborate. I am home, and beat! Remind me not to set up weekends where I have to drive down barely in time to check the bike in one night, get up at 4:30 AM to get ready to race the next day, and drive 3 hours home after the race to get Alana to symphony. My race plan was to swim as fast as I'm capable (not very), bike hard, and walk most of the run, as I've been having some knee issues. They are probably IT band related and I think I'll be better soon, but I didn't want to set my recovery back today and knew I couldn't run the whole thing. I planned on running 1 minute out of every four and I did just that, only cheating after

  • Comments: I'd do this again. The conditions were very good (a little hot for my taste) but it's fairly well organized and the amount of people make it exciting. The parking situation downtown is dismal.

  • Comments: I've included my race day report below, but I wanted to say a special thanks to everyone who signed Lisa's encouragement book while in St Pete. If she's up to it, I hope to be able to visit with her next week and give it to her. She posted a quote from Nelson Mandela on her CarePage yesterday that I thought you guys would appreciate. Thanks again for such an amazing experience and I am definitely ready for the next season! "Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small doesn't serve the world. There's nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We are born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some

  • Comments: This race was good enough that I can't wait to register for next year. I'm so happy I came to this event. I learned an awful lot and had just as much fun doing it. Fortunately, I got a killer spot in the transition area (right by the exit which was right by where I parked the car). Crossing my fingers for next year. That was huge transtion area. Sad I didn't meet any BTers and couldn't make it to the post race party (that was a real bummer). I thought I saw the BT logo someplace near the transition area but I was way too exhausted to turn back when I remembered it. Other duties had urgency as well.

  • Comments: Its a well done race. I am very disappointed that I was 17 minutes slower this year esp since I did this race last year on a broken hip. Yes the swim was choppy yes it was windy but I can't blame it on any of that. It was fun to meet BTers live and in person. I got to meet Hunter Kemper. Things I learned at this race 1-Listen to my body NOT what ANYONE else is telling me to do with it as I know it best 2-Be self-fish. At an A race I need to do what I need to do to get ready and let everyone else worry about their own stuff. Being nice doesn't result in a good race 3-Don't train one way then follow another approach on race day despite what ANYONE else tells you to do. IE: train for 4 months using HR zones then do RPE on race day.....stupid

  • Comments: I'm coming back next year to kick Tampa Bay in the butt. Was awesome to meet so many fabulous BT'ers. Very kind athletes who have been great letting me know that DNF happens. At least I wasn't DNS. I'm proud of me for getting in the water and hanging on as long as I did.

  • Comments: I'm not in as good a shape as I was in last year, so I couldn't expect to do as well. My main goal was just to survive that rough swim, and just pass people on the bike and run. I definitely passed more people than people passing me, so I'm very happy with it. Looking forward to next year when I age up and get to start almost 30 minutes sooner!!

  • Comments: After the race, i started getting a headache and I knew that it was due to dehydration and heat exhuastion. The headache grew worse after lunch and by the time I got back to the hotel, I was in PAIN and my head was about to explode! We had plans to go out for a celebration that night but my siblings and friends had to go w/out me b/c I was puking and needed to sleep off the headache. Oh well, here's a lesson learned.

  • Comments: Despite the choppy water conditions (which made me feel really tough!) this was an awesome race. It's my 2nd year doing this race and I highly recommend it. The volunteers were awesome- they were on the ball. I made sure to thank the officers in the road stopping traffic and the volunteers at the run aid stations. This race was well organized and the course was nice. What I loved most about this race is participating in TNT. The support I received from other TNT'ers during this race was so nice. And it was so nice seeing so many pruple jerseys from other states.
