  • Comments: Raffle prizes are great. If you stay you get more. Instead of trophies for the age group winners you get gift certificates for $25 to different places. If you don't claim it that instance, it gets raffled off at the end, so I always end up with 2 gc

  • Comments: TOTAL TIME OFF FROM LAST YEAR: 9:28 I love this race.... I love that all my hard work and getting up at 5 in the morning to go to the pool to swim is paying off... I love that all the long bike rides I did this year have helped my bike endurance and therefore, made me stronger on the bike....3rd place in my AG for the bike... I love that I was 5th in my age group.... I love that I took over 9 minutes off my time from last year.... I love the time Annie, Brent and Benjamin and I get to spend together for this race since I get to stay at her house... I loved the attention I got having the number 1 on my bib...since NO ONE was there to cheer me on today, the volunteers did it for me... I hate that mom isn't here to be that amazing cheerleader she was while I was growing up and doing CC and track...I sure did miss that today...but... I LOVE that even though my stomach may hurt, and I am not hitting the per mile pace I want...that: I'm out there busting my butt...having

  • Comments: These were my early season hopes: Conservative 400 m swim - 7 minutes 14.7 mile bike - 43:50 4.1 mile run - 37 minutes = 1:27 Super Perfect 400 m swim - 6:30 14.7 bike - 40 4.1 run - 35 = 1:21.30 The biking was tougher than I thought it would be, just because of the rolling hills and sharp turns. But other than that, my training has come a long way in the last couple months. Transition times were fine, I think I can do better, but for a first time, I'm pretty happy :)

  • Comments: Pre-season goal for this race was 1:30. After traveling the last 2 months and a major drop in training volumes, my pre-race goal was 1:40. So I was right where I expected. There is time to be made up on this course. So next year, if I do this race and come in prepared, I now know where to gain some minutes. Just found out that I received a penalty. No one can tell me where on the course or for what infraction. Still waiting to here from the RD. Weather was great. Always fun to race with friends. Always a great excuse to nap, drink some beer, and grill on a Sunday afternoon.
