  • Comments: Volunteers and crowd support were amazing! WTC always puts on a good race and manages to find great support. Their post-race activities are always lacking though....oh well. This course is amazing. Beautiful, challenging, and so rewarding!

  • Comments: Overall, I was 8 minutes faster than last year, but 1 miunte slower in the run. Good event with bad results. I was looking for a WC Canada slot... but even if I would have maintained position at 9th after T2.. I still wouldn't have gotten a slot. A 4:52 last year would have gotten 9th place and a slot (like 3 more slots available)... but this year, I would have had to go under 4:35... which at my best I don't think that I would have been able to do. I was aiming for around a 4:38 to 4:40. ALL of the top 10 guys ran under 1:35... with the top 3 all under 1:30... f$%k me! The only consolation that I have is that there is a time delta of about 20 to 25 minutes from this course to the local Tempe Town Lake course... so even with a meltdown... I would have been about or slightly under 4:30... that would be a PR.

  • Comments: One thing I really was smart about was hydration. Starting a week out from race time I added 8 oz of plain Pedialyte to every 24 Oz I drank, averaging about 80 oz a day. I did that right up through race morning. I had zero cramping issues, never felt dehydrated and woke up Sunday morning feeling great--I am not sore at all. Definitely my plan for my future races!
