  • Comments: I had no idea what to expect at this race, and I have definitely identified a few things to work on before Ironman. Also, I felt like weird things were constantly happening that I had to deal with (e.g., swim argument, going off course, messy transitions, nutrition problems), and though I don't think I always made the right decision, I do think I maintained a good attitude and I did a good job of dealing with the problem and moving on. I have also learned how to stay in the moment while racing and to keep the positive self-talk flowing. Overall, it was a strange and painful, yet informative, race experience. And I am SO glad it's done! :-)

  • Comments: Just found out that this will be the last year Norm Thibault puts on this race. He does a killer job so it is sad to see him go, hopefully the next director does just as good a job as Norm. And the volunteers and spectators were fantastic as always.

  • Comments: I was a little ticked that they changed the bike such that it was considerably shorter then a true half iron but it was still a good race. Based on this race and my paces it is about equivalent to around a 5:08 - 5:12 actual distance half iron taking into account the longer distance would have slowed me down even a little more. I'm really happy with that as it is my first crack at the longer stuff. My goal was sub 5:30 half and I think that I would have beat that easily.

  • Comments: For a first time race this was really well done. I would recommend this series of races to anyone contemplating doing one. They still have 2 more on the table, A race in Sooke, and a race in Vancouver.
