Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
Plenty of drink stations?Yes

Post race activities?
Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: As I was watching the long course guys going around, the announcer said that they had posted the results from the short course. I went over to check them out and was a little disappointed to see a 4 and not a 3 beside my name. Nobody passed me on the run so I think the announcer may have miscounted and called me in 3rd place incorrectly as I exited T2. It felt like it was there dangling in front of me like a carrot (or a piece of chocolate) and then as I went to claim it, it was snatched away from me. The Bribie Tri short course is a fun race and although I didn't get a place I was still really happy with my race. My disappointment didn't last that long because I went as hard as I could for the full course and placed in the top 5 which was may the major goal for the day.

Comments: Well I achieved two goals - A top ten finish and a top 5 bike ride! Too bad there were only 8 people in my damn age group! ^_^ I didn't really enjoy myself here though. Well I'll suck it up and do better next time!!!

Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: To set a new pb for the bike leg today was fantastic and it shows that all my extra training I have been doing is starting to pay off. I was also aiming to finish in the top 5 for my age group and to have achieved this as well, was very rewarding. I really enjoy the tri's at Bribie because it seems everybody is super friendly, it's a great course and they are always well organised. I'm already looking forward to the next Bribie tri in the new year.

Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: Dropping back to the short course was the best decision today because I had a lot of fun racing. I bettered my goal of a top 5 position and coming second in my age group was just fantastic. I learnt that the shorter course is really about going hard right from the starter’s gun and not slacking off until you cross the finish line. Next race is in January 2006 and I can't wait. PS I have attached a copy of the silverware (well clayware actually) i won today. My son wants to take it to kindy tomorrow for show and tell, I think he is more excited about it then I am.
