Comments: Overall, I am really happy with this race. While the run sucked, this was my first international distance (and second tri that I finished) and am pleased with how I did. I should have spent more time on the bike in the 4-6 weeks leading up to the race, but with a family (3 kids, 6 and under) and busy job, it just was not going to happen. Regardless, I am in this to stay active, be a good role model for my kids, and have fun. All three objectives were achieved, in that regard.
I am not sure what I am going to do next. It is easier for me to stay motivated with a race on the schedule. But we have a pretty busy summer. I might just put it on autopilot for the summer and run. We will see!
While I know a lot of members are familiar with JRC events, I will throw my two cents in and say Benji and Hope are awesome. They put on a great race, with activities for the kids! I would and will do JRC events in the future.
