  • Comments: Everyone at this race is SO nice and encouraging. I got to encourage some ppl too, this year, and got extra thank you's for my effort. I wish my bike performance had been better, but overall I feel great about my race! Best part of the day though, was that my mom got 3rd place in her age group, and it was her first triathlon!

  • Comments: Like the small town feel of this race, but this year seemed under staffed. And they had very little post-race refreshments: they were out of bananas, and I didn't see any drinks, so it was simply apples and oranges.

  • Comments: I am super excited and happy with my results this year. I finished this race last year, my first tri ever, in 1:19:41. So yes, I shaved almost 11 minutes off my time. My big goal for today was to go under 1:10 and I nailed that. The only goal I didn't hit today was top 10 in my age group (I was 13), and there's only so much I can do to control that. My time would have gotten my top 10 last year, what can I say, it's a stronger field this year. I took a ton of time off my bike and run, a small amount of time off my swim, and my transitions were a wash. I'm feeling good about my general level of fitness right now and am looking forward to the rest of the season.
