  • Comments: (Warning: Long RR) Here at the beginning of my third year, I was feeling pretty much at the nadir of my fledgling triathlon career. I had been forced to take a month off training in February in my last stages of preparation for the Virginia Bar. On one hand, it paid off: I was one of the lucky 57% who passed. On the other, I was way behind where I needed to be in my off-season preparation. It showed in my performance. I DNF'ed at the Cherry Blossom 10-Miler. Debi and I agreed that I should go for it, since I knew that I could do the 5k. So I did, but crapped out at Mile 6 when I started feeling a nasty new knee pain that has since gone away. Also, I started a new job in DC - 50+ hour weeks plus 2.5-hour daily commutes. I struggled to get back in a training groove, but was just worn out - so much so that I DNS'ed the Homegrown Tri, which I had been looking forward to all year. So I approached Luray with some trepidation tempered with hope. I was adjusting to my new work schedule

  • Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of this race. It was my first tri, and a great one to sink my teeth into. Challenging bike, followed by a flat trail run. Good combination. Well organized.
