  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I really liked this race, but they HAVE to do something about that run. Or, if I do it again next year, at least I'll know about the rough terrain/hills so I can better prepare in T2 and try to get my side/etc to relax...I mean, I didn't cramp once in the last 2 months of running off the bike, and with this run, I just couldn't push it or it would have been defcon 5....which I've painfully/tearfully learned in past races. I am VERY proud of my swim, this was a huge accomplishment for me...I don't care if it was slow...I didn't freak out and swam the entire thing. And obviously, I wanted to hammer the bike, and I did that too. ITU next week is a pancake flat run...so, I am going to take that extra time in T2 to "relax" before I head out on run....and I am going to run until I vomit or my legs fall off.

  • Comments: It was pretty obvious that it was a first time event, and the severe weather the night before didn't help, but overall I think it was pretty well run.
