  • Comments: Despite my troubles, and despite the issue with the finisher's medals, it was a well put togther race. There was plenty of support and plenty of great volunteers. Had my mental focus and physical ability on race day been better, it would have been a much better experience. There have been races when my mental focus hasn't been there and others where my physical effort was off. To this point, I have never had both happen on the same day. In a town named for gambling, I rolled the dice and came up with snake eyes. I haven't been completely owned by a course this badly since Pumpkinman in '07 - but I was a less trained athlete then. Looking at the stark reality of the numbers, this was likely my worst race ever - at least from a perspective of the gap between preparation/ability and performance on race day. The season is half over now, and it has been rough so far. However, there is still time to right the ship and salvage my two big events. I'll work hard on the swim between

  • Comments: This is a terrific Tri festival. Everything was beautifully executed and the scenery and courses were terrific. Given the altitude, terrain and climbs, this isn't the easiest Tri, but it's up there on the fun scale. Having 4 different Tri's in the weekend really makes it a 'happening'. The raffle prizes were over the top incredible... even though I didn't win a damn thing and others went home with thousands of dollars worth of tri-booty. The technical t-shirt was pretty nice and in the schwag bag there was a nice little under-helmet beanie for cold weather rides. Oh, they ran out of finisher medals if you were in the bottom half- not sure why. The Tucson tri club treated me to a great evening dinner at their campsite. Thanks Leo!

  • Comments: Tri Sports did a great job! Lots of support, beautiful course, and not too many athletes. The caliber of athlete at this race was amazing. Not many newbies here for sure.
