  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This race is loaded/sold out with triathletes every year. It's time for them to split the novices to a day later like they do with Latta Plantaition in June. The transition area was just too cramped with people.

  • Comments: These folks do a great job organizing and setting up the race. For the life of me I can't figure out why it is so popular. The water is murky and hot, the roads are average and the run is certainly not scenic. Good race but between this race and Latta, I would take latta everytime.

  • Comments: This was a really good race for me and I needed it. My last couple of races had been tough (injury, wreck) and it was nice to feel strong again. Plus, it's a big local race so I get to spend the morning with all my Tri friends and meet new ones too -- like Carol (keyone). :)

  • Comments: The weather was fantastic. Cool, low humidity and almost the entire run course was in the shade. I had a great time and glad I got out there today, quite a contrast from OtM.

  • Comments: I feel a great sense of relief that I'm not crushed about missing the podium this race (I've had podium finishes in all my other races this year). I had a great race, had fun, met some nice people, including BT'rs love2tri (Alice) and a guy she was with (sorry, can't remember your name!). A great day. Oh, and Alice got 1st place in her age group - WAY TO GO!!! I wish I could have met some other BT'rs! I didn't know what you all looked like, tho! I beat my time from last year by over 4 minutes. 1 minute on the swim, 2 on the bike, and 1 on the run :)

  • Comments: Like this race, large crowd, but the course suits me. Long, hard bike and then reasonable run. Took 3 mins off last year's time. 1 min faster on swim, 1+ on bike, and :30 on run. Not too bad even though I think I could have done even better than I did.

  • Comments: Overall for limited training time, and for just going out to do it, I had a FANTASTIC race... I am really happy that I matched last years time. Okay so last year was 1hr, 47mins, 15s; this year was 1hr 47mins, 14s...okay so can not get much more consistent than that all I did was, trade time off the swim for added time on the bike, then pulled a bit faster run. For next year, need to focus on swim and bike...mostly bike. So people like Tommy won't come by slapping my butt saying "get along old man this....is a race after all"---
