  • Comments: Performance wise..this was not a great race for me- but it wasn't about that.Just HAPPY to be able to be there and to finish and to do so without feeling like it set me back.I realized as I was running that I hadn't stopped grinning since coming out of the water... was actually laughing out loud on the run..! Had fun hanging during the start delay with Ellen & Kathy & Glen...they kept me from freaking out about propelling myself 1/2 mile with basically zero swim practice since accident. Out on the course - Kathy was "riding with the boys"on her new bike and smiling each time I saw her,gliding across the finish line with ease, Ellen was looking strong on the bike, high fived on the run,and cruised in smiling.Kept expecting Glen to swim over me, fly by me on the bike,but passed him going out on the run-shirtless-instead...smiling.I had very little sleep,wasn't "ready" training wise to race,..It was rainy ....and I had a BLAST! Happy Happy Dance...!!!

  • Comments: FIRM does an 'ok' race. No signage as to directing the participants to the venue, no mile markers for bike or run leg, very little post race goodies. overall, it was fun to be able to race on a warm rainy day in june and I have to thank FIRM for the opportunity.

  • Comments: I did not like the long run up the asphalt to T1/T2. Why didn't the race orgs use the lower, beachside parking lot? Makes no sense to me. I have e-mailed the race org folks about my DNF and hope that they will update the Results Page soon...I feel bad about beating Miss 3rd place Athena because if I had been racing, she'd have been my rabbit. I noticed her on the beach and thought "I'd really like to keep up with her". She was tall and looked FAST! We'd have been neck-and-neck on the bike if I'd been able to stay in the game. http://www.firm-racing.com/result_report.asp?RID=524&type=4&cat=Ath...

  • Comments: FIRST TRIATHLON EVER! Great-guess not by ranking standards, but definitely a serious finish and proud of my first one! I was completely wiped after this one but also was completely motivated to take on more. I look very much forward to watching my performance improve! And I have to say I was pretty worried about the rain and the rain stopped me from doing Hyannis I two weeks earlier. But luckily the rain was not super heavy during the race. It was no issue during the swim of course. The bike was slick but not too dangerous-and the rain definitely kept me cool. Same for the run-I was never really hot as a result of the wet/cooler but warm enough weather. So while I did envision doing my first tri on an ultra sunny and perfect day. The rainy day worked out quite well for this first one.
