• Comments: My first Tri was Ramblin Rose in Winston Salem (2008), which I felt was much better organized. It's a wonderful race for women, and especially new triathletes (like myself!). However, I think after some more training I will be looking for a different Sprint distance race in which there is a little more organization in the pool, and more rules enforced on the bike. I finished the race with my hands in the air, and even beat my first race time by 3 minutes! This race gave me the confidence to keep training for races in the future!

• Comments: Only change I would make would be a water station as you head out on the run, there was no water at the point I wanted a little to wet my mouth and pour over my head. Otherwise, the only thing I would change would be two of the hills on the bike course. I knew going out that the way back in would be painful. I set three PR's and had a great time in support of my friend. I couldn't ask for a better race.
