  • Comments: Might have won my division. Guy who won did a 6:07. Expected him to do a 5:30. Many thanks to the 3 different guys who loaned (gave) me CO2 and a tube. Numerous others offered. Great example of why I love triathletes!

  • Comments: So I set a PW (Personal Worst)for this distance, coming in over 35 minutes slower than my previous "worst" time, but in the end I'm happy. I had strongly considered not even doing the race. It was a mental challenge from the time I woke up, so that said I'm glad I finished! Not sure I'll do this race again though, the timing is just too "iffy" for the weather. BOP>DFL>DNF>DNS

  • Comments: I cannot believe I finished an HIM, let alone beating my goal by 20 minutes!!! SetupEvents always puts on a great race, and the volunteers (and especially the Police on the swim, bike, and run portions) keep the race enjoyable and safe. There are so many kind and generous people to whom I owe my deepest thanks: I could not have made it to the starting line without their help. Coach Beth, who turned my pathetic swimming into a fast, efficient technique. My neighbor, Andy, who got me into triathlons and always is happy to give me some advice on training and race prep. My PT, Robert Gillanders, who got my achilles back in shape in record time. The wonderful BT members who always had good advice for the zillion questions I always had, including Jorge who had a terrific winter bike program that laid the foundation for this strong season. BarryP and all his BT friends, who saved me from my running injuries and taught me how develop strong running fitness without injury. Finally,
