  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Overall, a great re-entry to the triathlon racing scene. I could've picked a better course for me, but overall I can't complain about finishing one for the first time in eight years. I'm also at a point now where my AG starts to get easier so if I'm able to improve a bit I'll be hoping to compete for AG podiums in these races. I easily left 15 minutes on the table out there today. My back held out great the whole race and even the next couple of days it was more my legs, etc. that were hurting. I feel like I've been in a car accident. :-) Going forward I have to continue to manage my body and figure out the right amount of run training so I can get some speed back without overcooking myself like I did back in 2014. Kinetic put on a great race as usual...decent SWAG, good food spread afterwards (which I'm usually not ready to eat yet, but it looked good!). Volunteers were everywhere and really helpful, especially with the heat It hit 98 degrees later in the day.

  • Comments: A good race for a first triathlon. Course was well marked, staff was friendly, and the novice info session the previous afternoon was helpful.

  • Comments: Overall a great race experience and I'm happy with the results. It wasn't my best performance but I didn't even think I'd be able to race just a few days before, so top 30 OA and top 30% AG isn't too bad.
