  • Comments: This was a better race for me then I would characterize it. I was way too hard on myself and "disappointed" with a 4th which is a bad attitude. I need to re-evaluate my priorities! It was nice to race and have the opportunity to do this. I did the best I could, overcame obstacles, learned about myself and grew in the process. Praise God!

  • Comments: This was an excellent day for me and a good learning experience. I raced faster then 2 years ago yet dropped out of contention. I had expected to be top 3 and to end up 7th was a bit hard at first. But I remind myself, as I do my kids and athletes, I do this for personal accomplishment and if I hit my goals I leave the rest in God's hands. This was a great opportunity to practice what I preach!! So I did have a great day. There was a quiet sense of satisfaction that came with it and I was very happy. I was particularly happy because of my back injury and general strife and stress of life lately. This was a sweet time, an act of worship, thank you God!

  • Comments: - I did not enjoy passing what felt like a hundred bikers on my 2nd lap of the bike stage as it was very frusterating having to yell at some cyclists to let me through the trails. At a few points I even had to stop because of ignorant bikers I was lapping that would not let me by on their left hand side. - There were no awards given out other than a plack based on overall race winner.

  • Comments: Magic, no other way to describe it. There was so much baggage coming into this so this is sweet. I had set a goal of beating 1:05, thinking 1:02 was possible. To break an hour not possible. To not only do that but beat my time from last year blows me away. I'm soaring!! Praise you Lord.

  • Comments: Great race for a first time. The course was nice and flat and not intimidating. As well the shorter event is on a saturday whereas the pros come out on the sunday so us newbies had the day to ourselves.

  • Comments: Overall I found this Try a Tri more of a physical effort than my Olympic. It was hard to push it that hard for that short a period of time. I enjoyed it. It was fun to actually think what place I was in. Normally I'm just thinking get to the finish line. Two different aspects to the sport I discovered today. 1. Short and fast - trying to place - I think these types of races are actually fun 2. Long and slow - I think I found these more challenging but more rewarding I want to do a 1/2IM next year but I think I'll come back to this race and try and place again. all in all very fun!
