  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This is one of those races that you have to respect the course. The swim was just plain U-G-L-Y!!!! I was my own worst enemy. I need to overcome my mental wars. I feel comfortable with my training (it isn't great but it is there) and am sure that I can meet my goals until I start looking at other athletes equipment and talking to others. Then I start to doubt my abilities. Then the mental meltdown begins. There were several times during this race that I wanted to quit. My bike SUCKED!!! I cried over part of it because it was so bad!! My times on the bike look pretty bad but there are way more hills on this route then my previous tri. I'm not happy with my time but am comfortable with the concept that I did it and know where to build. The same goes for the run. I talked to the race director about a concern I had. I knew I was the last athlete but it was very disconcerting to have the emergency vehicle right behind me on the bike, to turn my head to breath during the swim

  • Comments: This was my first race last year, and I was at least 10 minutes faster this time. (Road bike and swimming confidence helped, running was about the same.)
