  • Comments: Surprised that there weren't any water stations on the bike course. Maybe that's normal, but after volunteering last month and working at a bike water station, I thought that was that norm. Police did a great job with traffic control. No issues at all! Sorry that I didn't run into any other BTer's. Warmed up with a t-shirt covering my BT jersey, so that probably didn't help! Also should note that before the race saw two other guys in their early 20's racking up their mountain bikes. I just thought that I would have no chance against them. Well don't you know, after the swim, both of their bikes were still there when I got to T1, and I only saw one of them come to T1 because I was fiddling around with my jersey so long. The guy who beat me was a 45 year old foagie, so you just never know do you?? I learned to not doubt your own abilities, and just run your own race! :)

  • Comments: I really liked this race. The only issue that I didn't like was the huge hill that we had to run up from the beach to the TA. Not anything the race folks could or can do about it, but man after spending as long in the water as I do, that is one killer hill. :)

  • Comments: Laura was sitting by the finish line with an ice pack on her knee -- she blew her ACL again -- she said it went the last mile, but she kept running. And came in first place in her division. My warm down was hugging my baby. I am so proud of her determination and her sportsmanship that however hurt I was still feeling about the bad behaviour from the guy who grabbed my suit during the swim, it all faded when I saw Laura. For me, she embodies the true heart of the sport.

  • Comments: HFP rocks, I like them a bunch. They had lots and lots of volunteers at this race, in contrast with the woefully understaffed Buckeye Lake Tri/Du. One suggestion: instead of telling us that our wave will go off at 8:06AM, which it never does, just tell us that we're in wave 1 and the waves will start shortly after 8. Coming nowhere close to these meticulously scheduled start times just makes the organiazers look unnecessarily unorganized.

  • Comments: I should have known this race was going to be tough for me when I could not get to the race site due to heavy fog and detours. My swim and bike were not all that bad actually, but my run was a nightmare because of my legs. I am going to spend some time this off season avoiding running and spend more time on my swimming and strength.
