  • Comments: In the end my run and bike where enough to overcome my bad swim and secure the age group win. The fact that this was a local race with tons of friends and my wife and son there to cheer me on made it very special. And winning was somewhat a validation of the recent sponsorship deal. What a relief! This race was also a validation of my goal to race competitively at the Elite/Open level. If I can swim like I do in training, shave another minute or two off my bike split, and get the 5k time down below 19, I’ll be ready to toe the line with the best of the best. I’ve got more work to do to get there, but this year’s time is almost 5 minutes less than my time last year, which is a good indication that I’m on the way there.

  • Comments: Setup does a great job putting on these races. Everything runs smoothly. Moes grill had the food which was good, and there was plenty of drinks. This race seems to have a lot of families attend and is a fun one to do. I will definitely do it again next year if I'm able.
