  • Comments: As Pilgrim told me, I'll never have another chance for my first tri. . . so I did my best to enjoy everything about it. I thanked every volunteer I passed, I talked to people on the course, and remembered to relish the fact that I made it through the swim. I appreciate how encouraging EVERYONE was leading up to and at the race and look forward to my next.

  • Comments: This was a good race. It was my first in the Tri the Parks series, and I'd do another on for sure. Although the course was challenging, it was a great course to test out the early season fitness level.

  • Comments: I worked with a swim coach over the winter and swam a ton. The murky lake water and stampede of people behind really freaked me out. I swallowed water twice in a row and got swam over a few times. Needed to tread for a few minutes to revive. Very dissapointing start but was able to put together decent time despite.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this course - nice mix of flats and hills on the bike, pretty course on the run. I think this will be on my schedule again next year - good season opener alternative to St As.

  • Comments: This was a very well run race. It was a training race for me so I did not push it. I have decided I like longer distances, it just takes me too long to get settled down and into my grove. Anyway a good race to get the transitions back down and get into the mental game before the A races.

  • Comments: I was pissed when I pulled up in the moring and some fat park ranger was collecting 3$ to park. Granted its just 3$ but I have never ever been to a race where they make the participants pay to Park. What the heck did my race fee go to? The shirt that is 2 sizes to small or the quarter peice of bagel I got to eat at the end of the race. Anyway......

  • Comments: Overall I can't complain as this race was just a primer for Gulf Coast. My only goal was to work on mechanics and at least beat last years dismal finish. I accomplished both. Afterwards I wished I would have pushed more on the bike and the run as I am pretty confident I could have finished several minutes faster. Oh well. Congratulations to all of the NASMCers that podiumed (Kirk B. Greg C. and Rebecca C.) as well as Jonathon for his awesome finish!!!
