  • Comments: One thing I have noticed last two tris I done this year is that I feel mentally different while racing. I just execute my plan and seem to be mentally neutral and adjust and adapt as needed while racing. It is as if I just control my body not so much mental arguing with myself or being negative. It may sound strange but it is huge difference and makes racing much more enjoyable. As usual Firm messed some things up. Everyone's time is one minute over real time and they couldn't figure out what was wrong and at the awards ceremony they didn't say anything about it. Given their screw ups I opted to use my watch time for my times as it is exactly the minute off. Splits are not posted yet.

  • Comments: Fun spring race..wish it was longer. Lots of first timers and friendly folks. I wish they would accurately measure the course and also time transitions as it mucks up figuring out my paces.

  • Comments: Easy to get to off Mass Pike, parking is great 50 yds from transition, facilities are excellent with enough restrooms, pool is clean, and you can take a shower afterwards...all adds up to good early season race.As folks keep finishing they frequently update the results.Awards were given out quickly which is nice.

  • Comments: I'm happy with how I did. It was fun to place second in my AG and next time I hope get faster. I found out my Mom beat me by only 4 seconds...how weird is that. I was happy because I thought I'd lose to her by 1-2 minutes.

  • Comments: Emily did great and when they posted our times...shocking but true, I was only 4 seconds faster than she was...and we placed next to each other...63 and 64. Emily placed 2nd in her AG and had so many positive comments as people ran and biked near her...wow you are 11...great job! My bike time was Emily's run time and I ran her bike time...it was weird how similar we did. I train 7-10 hours a week and she does like 1.5 hours....youth...gotta love it! I guess I may say now I'm in the back of the MOP and not the BOP anymore...but I need to double check my final rank as I forgot to write it down. Funny thing is if I competed in my AG I would have placed 2nd so this Athena thing is weird. The two women who beat me where much thinner than I and some 10-15 years younger. Who cares, I did this to compete against myself and see how I did. Best thing is I had fun the whole day and didn't stress or feel negative thoughts for but a few seconds here and there...much improvement for me. PB times (speed
