  • Comments: I really like this race.. its flat.. well organized ... I didn't like the lake this year.. seaweed was terrible... They sortah messed up the national anthem.. so I was a bit surprised.. could have been more organized in that regard I suppose.. This year...i just wasnt as pysched or trained as well.. if I had shaved off the 4-5 minutes i burned in the t-zone it might have been more comparable.. 9 minutes slower because of the run and the BR break most likely..

  • Comments: I'm having troubles with comparing this race to Heart of the Lakes. I really loved everything about that race. This one just seemed to come up a bit short. Maybe it had more to do with the weather. Although the swim was a complete downer. But it was my first Oly and I guess I have to be happy that I finished under my goal time. Not sure I would do this one again next year.
