  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Swim - focus on me and my technique and not worry about anybody else. Bike - don't be so worried about the run when I am on the bike. Run - Run. I had checked out my competition ahead of time and knew there were 14 Athena's registered and half were 40+. As it turns out we had 11 total and only 4 over 40 that finished. I know two DNS and I guess one DNF. I knew I was not first but had no idea where I finished until they called my name. I finished 4th Athena overall, 2nd in 40+. Qualified for Hyvee in Iowa September 2012 - we are going!

  • Comments: This is the WTC. I kind of expected more fan fare, swag, and presentation. There was nothing wrong with the way the race was run. And in fact it was better organized than some of the races I've done this year. But, it wasn't as well run as the Onurmark events such as Kemah, Bridgeland, and Houston. In addtion the field size was pretty small, so I hope the race returns next year.

  • Comments: The safety crews and setup crews were a notch above for this race, presumably because of the WTC. The field seemed to be stacked with great competitors, which is probably true. I'm usually a solid middle of the pack guy, but slipped back a little because of all the great competition and it was a pleasure to watch them work!
