  • Comments: My overall time was 1:12:23.7 I did this race in 1:11:36 in 2003. I really wanted to beat that time at least, but my first transtion screwed that up... had i not had such a horrible time and had just an average transition I would have broken the 1:10:00 barrier.. so in all i feel ok about how i did.

  • Comments: Fortunately, the race director had someone recording numbers as they crossed the finish line. I suppose that this is insurance against the chip system failing. It worked out well for me as I did not have a chip but they were still able to record my overall time and place me appropriately in my AG. A time of 1:08:28 is good for me as I had hoped to come in under 1:10:00. They do a really good job with these Tri the Parks races and I will be back for a couple more this summer. I would really like to finish "on the podium" for one of these. I missed it by one spot on Saturday. Next up: Florida 70.3!

  • Comments: Enjoyed this race, first one in this series and first sprint i ever did. My goal was 1:30, which I was off of by 4 minutes, not to upset about that since I did horrible in the water. Very pleased with my Bike and running. Just Open water swim was horrible.

  • Comments: Blue sky does a nice job with this series. It is on time and well organized. My only complaint is the penalty- but that is the USAT guy. Not really much to do after the race, so I went home with mixed feelings about this race. It is the first race of my tri season and I learned from some mistakes and will move forward, and at some point this season get my top 3 finish in the clyde division. Sill overcame a lot, had a fantastic run and a good finishing time. It was only last june that I did my first sprint with only a goal of finishing, so I have come a long way, and will continue to get better.

  • Comments: TTP is what it is, a low key parks series. They concentrate a lot on things that matter (safety, permitting, rescue). They don't seem to have a lot of volunteers, but those that do come out do a good job. Their events are on-time (weather permitting). This is definitely the easiest TTP race course, both in the bike and the run.

  • Comments: The race was run very well and I give kudos to those that organized and maintained it. The faults of the race were my own lack of preparation and effort. All in all it was a good workout a good chance to see a new area and as always its great to be around competitors and those making efforts towards physical health.

  • Comments: Was a bit disappointed. I had fooled myself into thinking that I was in better shape. Reality check. Immediate reaction was to start training more seriously for 7/23 sprint w/ specific performance goals: 20mph bike, 24 min 5K, better swim.
