  • Comments: I hope I am not going backwards at this point in the race year. This was a terrible experience for me from a performance standpoint. Jack's races are awesome and I can't say enough how much I enjoy doing any race that he is the RD for. I was especially impressed with the motorcycle guy on the run course going up and down the Damn asking people if they were alright because of the 102 degree weather. The water stop volunteers also were incredible, suffering through that heat in black shirts! Hopefully, I either got my BAD race of the year out of the way or just had a bad day and will move on.

  • Comments: This was my second TRI, my first was the Metroplex Sprint last month. So I am learning a lot. I am a little disappointed with my run, I was off my normal 10K pace by almost 2 minutes. Keeping the big picture in mind all my paces, even the run, are in line with what my plan is for the IM Florida in Nov. I had fun, isn't that what its about??

  • Comments: For my first Oly, I guess 2:52 isn't bad. Could have...should have been 5 to 10 minutes faster. My stomach let me down. Loved the course. Guess I should get used to it. First HIM will be there in 6 weeks or so. Need to figure out what's up with my stomach before then.

  • Comments: Jack did a great job ensuring he was prepared for the heat. Lots of ice and plenty of drink stations. Food included only bagels, cookies, and eventually pizza. Gatorade and water in abundance. Smoothies were available for purchase. No realy activities (other than awards), and I think only one vendor. Really, just anther of Jack's standard, 'minimal frills but really well executed' races. There was a great BT turnout, and kudos to Sebastion for taking some BT pics.
