  • Comments: I loved the time I got to spend with my racing family. I love seeing the people I have met over the past couple of years and enjoy meeting and competing with these athletes every time. If it weren't for many of these people it wouldn't be fun. Results: http://onlineraceresults.com/race/view_race.php?race_id=25804&relis...

  • Comments: The weather this year was perfect for a PR. I shaved just under 4 minutes off my best time which was two years ago. This is a hometown race that I'll do until I take a top podium spot. I'm serious although it's a silly goal, I want to win my AG in this race. Next year will be my last in the 50-54 so I'm looking at 2014 as my year. :) Great race, great friends, great food...what more could you ask for?

  • Comments: Overall, the race itself was run excellent and on-time. The post-race awards ceremony was a little rough this year. I took 1:40 off my time from last year, and was just hoping to take off 45 seconds and be under 1:10. I was really nervous about my bike and run legs (no pun intended), but in the end, I am extremely happy with my race performance. Very few/minor mistakes made during this race that only cost me mere seconds. I'm really hoping to focus on some speed work for the bike and run to see how much I can really push myself in a couple months at Syracuse.

  • Comments: I like the way they run the awards ceremony. They start with the oldest groups and work their way down to the youngest. Oldest triathlete there today was 87. That's freekin' awesome!

  • Comments: Regardless of my race time, I had a lot of fun. It was a good race, and I hope to be able to do it again next year (and beat my time). At least I have a baseline now!
