  • Comments: Awesome race. This was my second tri and the difference in my comfort level compared to my first race last year was huge. I was having fun the entire time even though I was working hard. Lot's of friendly people at the race which helps tons. The racks were tight but everyone near me was polite and encouraging. I would definately recommend this race to others.

  • Comments: I have only done 2 at this point, so my experience is limited. The atmosphere wasn't as light and friendly for me as the Desert Tri was. Glad I did it and glad I did the full sprint and not the super sprint.

  • Comments: Even though I'm upset by the run, overall I'm very pleased with this race. Why? Well, for one simple reason -- if you had told me a year and a half ago that I'd be completing a triathlon, I'd have asked you to get your head examined. So to have come this far is really wonderful, and I'm quite proud of it. I've met so many cool people through this new hobby, and I'm so grateful. It's helped me adopt a much more positive outlook on life than what I had before. And as for the running.... well, I've decided to focus my efforts on just that, or mostly that, over the next few months. Jogging twice a week just isn't enough volume for me to improve. So I intend to get out at least 4 times per week and try to work through this hurdle -- a hurdle which is probably as much mental as it is physical, perhaps even more so.

  • Comments: Not my best race, but considering having a cold and a sore arm I guess it was not all that bad.

  • Comments: Great race. Nice area and super fast course besides the sand on the run. It was a wam bam thank you maam kind of race. Not the kind of race I am training for. I like to pace and go longer but doing a sprint was fun and a good experience. Overall pretty stoked I got 5/26 in my AG in my second tri ever. Just need to run faster and I would be a competitive AG'er for a podium spot. Will like to do it again next year after I have a year of run training under my belt and see if I can finish significantly faster. Not getting there with time to spare made me anxious and deffinatly affected my preparation which I think is important for a race of such short distances.
