  • Comments: Great volunteers and well organized. Cant wait to do this one again next year. My only complaint was the timing chips. We had to wear 3 and I think there were some timing issues. ex. I dont think both of Transitions were 1:00 min.

  • Comments: I have to keep reminding myself this is officially my first triathlon. I've been doing lots of prep and I think seeing the 120th place overall in the swim hurt my feelings. But overall, I am very happy with the time of 1:32:32 - I had what I considered to be a reach goal of 1:30, so I got darned close to that. And I am happy with top 10 in my age group. Granted - I think I was lucky to be competing in the field I was competing in and do not expect the same top 10 at the larger races. So I'm going to try and take it as a confidence boost, good first race, and move on. I also need to learn how to warm up properly before a race. I'm so worked up about getting my stuff all organized and then I don't want to mess it all up by using my stuff to warm up. And at this race, I wasn't allowed to warm up swimming - which I think is where I need it most. I really need to learn how to swim fast from the start - not 800 yards in.

  • Comments: I'm a little biased as an organizer of the race, but I don't think things could have gone much better. I had a lot of fun at the race and everything went smoothly. Unfortunately my Dad has a pulled groin so he wasn't able to race, but he volunteered and we spent a good amount of time together.
