  • Comments: In the end, there were several bright spots in this race for me, the things I learned how to do on the swim will aid me greatly for IM. Same can be said for the bike water hand off. I also have things to work on related to the run. I have 6 weeks to get it right!

  • Comments: This was my first HIM, AND my first half marathon, so I was happy with finishing close to the middle of the pack. Given the heat, I was also happy to have finished under my own power and not to need medical attention at the end. I was surprised to see that I ranked higher on the run than on the bike, so I guess it was hard for everyone out there. I guess that also reveals that the bike is still my weakest link, though I have come a long way during the past year or so. Before last year, I had probably never ridden more than 5 or so miles on a bike, at a casual pace. I'm pleased with my improvement but there is still room for a lot more.

  • Comments: I would have high marks for this race except for the bike course. I can't believe how rough it was. Everything else was great. I didn't get to enjoy the post race festivities. We had to leave for the wake right after the race. Being I took so long on the course we barely made it too. I'm glad we did. Carol really needed us there, and I couldn't live with myselfe if we missed it.

  • Comments: Good race, well run. Great mental challenge race, really brings to the fore-front the mental and nutritional side of this sport as you go longer distances. If you didn't change your approach due to the weather today, you didn't finish.
