  • Comments: Oh boy... so many high's and so many low's :( Timing is WAY screwed up and two days later they still don't have it figured out. Remember when I said I moved to Athena... well, they moved me to Athena SPRINT! :( I should be 3rd in Athena Olympic. Of course even the splits they have posted for me don't add up to the total time they have posted. Never-the-less, I feel confident that my total time is relatively correct which means I took FOURTEEN minutes off of my time from last year. While some of that is due to thinking I had a flat tire last year, most of that is due to better race execution. I hydrated perfectly to not drainout and not need to pee ;) I hope they DO get the timing correct. As that one lady I know SHOULD be second overall, but due to the screw ups it keeps leaving her in third :( Hoping that the timing gets better, I will be back next year (unless my friends convince me to do St George 70.3 ;) )

  • Comments: Last year was the first time I did stg tri (sprint distance) and I loved it. I gave it my all and I walked in pain for a whole week. This year I moved up to oly distance and I gave it my all and I walk proud and strong this year. No frankinstein walk for me! I still have a issue hregarding having to park outside of the park and then having to be shuttle in. Especially when I see tons of parking in the parking alot. That why I gave this race a 4 instead of a 5.

  • Comments: BBSC puts on an AWESOME event. The support was out of this world. I've never seen so much support on a course before. There was even a guy to hold my bike while I used the toilet at the turn around! :) FIRST CLASS EVENT!

  • Comments: Being my first Olympic-Distance it was just the kind of race I needed. I think "leaving some out on the field" has invigorated me for the next event. I'm excited for the Cache Valley Classic in June to see if I can build on some of things that were haunting me on this race.

  • Comments: First of all, there was a timing snaffu. They started my time with the wave AFTER the one I started in. The problem was they gave me the wrong cap color. They based it on my age on race day, NOT my age this race year. So I followed all the other blue caps and got a 10 min. head start on my true wave. I have made ALL the adjustments to my ranking and times in this report AND notified the RD to make the changes to be fair. The race has my finish time at 2:47:12. It should be at 2:56:53. As it now stands, I'm 60th (out of 505) but I will drop to 93rd after the correction. I am second in my division (out of 19), but that will drop to 4th after the correction. But to be honest, even after the corrections, I can tell I have significantly moved up in rankings for both overall and my division since the same course last year. Plus I felt much stronger during and after the event. I will NOT say this race was easier, it was still hard, BUT it felt simpler on a psycological level.

  • Comments: This race was awesome! I was concerned because it was taken over by BBSC this year. They did a great job, and exceeded my expectations. This is an annual MUST DO race for me! I had two goals going into this race.... 1-Finish in the top 200 - I finished 145 2-Finish in under 1:45 - I finished in 1:30. I have to say, I am very pleased with my overall performance.

  • Comments: Lots of enthusiastic volunteers and racers made the race fun; the only down note was how hot the day was. The support on the bike leg was great; I always felt safe. The run was hard as it was run on sand, but this only added to the challenge. I plan on doing it again.
