  • Comments: Overall, it was an okay race for me. I wish I could get another chance at the swim - being successful there would have changed the complexion of the whole day. I feel good about the bike, as I was able to see improvements from a winter on the trainer. I was a little disappointed in the run until I put it in perspective. I was comparing the pace to what I do on a standalone run, and it looked awfully slow. When I started looking at times from past events, I was able to see that I am a little faster than I was at some similar events from last year. Overall, it was okay, but not exactly the race I was hoping for.

  • Comments: I though about how fortunate I have been in all my races since getting into the sport, with results and races that have always gone my way. I thought about the 1000's of hours training without any serious injury and never having crashed in my bike. I knew it was just a matter of time and that I was due. I could wallow in self pity or learn from my mistake and move forward. I choose the later. I later saw the results and realized that I would have likely been 2nd overall had I managed to finish the race and that was tought to take, but I am so lucky to not have really hurt myself badly and I can get back at it and move forward to the more important races of this season, culminating in IMAZ and hopefully another trip to Kona. :)

  • Comments: Great race. Well organized, plenty of volunteers- I never had any doubt where I should have been on the course. The volunteers were great. Bike course wasn't as hard as i thought it was going to be, had more turns than expected, nothing bad though. I am used to riding in Vegas at Lake Mead and Red Rock Canyon so I do a lot of hill climbing so I am sure thats why I didn't mind this course. The beginning of the run was a bit tough but overall it great.
