  • Comments: Great Race! RedRock puts on such a fantastic event! The only thing holding me back from doing this race again is the time of year...it always seems to still be hot here in late October! At least the water was nice! Can't wait to start planning for my next HIM!

  • Comments: Tempe is a great town and venue is awesome. Soma was my first Redrock event and I am impressed. They ran it like clockwork. Really excellent all around experience, no drama (Mdot drama), very relaxed and low key. Highly recommend this race.

  • Comments: I felt like this was my best race. I really felt my decision making and my effort level was good. I couldn't imagine even saying I wanted to do an IM after Marquee, but now, I can imagine it. I know I'm still not ready for that kind of volume, but I made strides this summer. I felt diet and consistency have been my strong points, thus far, in my journey towards an IM. I really enjoy the 70.3 distance and really enjoy the camradery Wade and share racing with/against each other. Was very pleased with the job Red Rock and all the volunteers did with putting on a great event and am blessed and privelaged to race for FCA, and have such a supportive family!!!

  • Comments: 2011 is in the books. Looking back at the season on a whole, I would say it has been a tremendous success. Several great performances while constantly improving. This race was still a PR at the distance even with the horrific run. One thing I will not say is that I was capable of more. I don't believe in that. My time is what I was capable of....if I was capable of more or of going faster, I would have. When we say we are capable of more, we are saying things like, in this instance, season planning doesn't matter. Well it does. Every decision we make matters. Things didn't go as planned, but this is what I was capable of based on the whole of my training. So I will walk away from this and make adjustments based on what happened. My coach and I will come up with another plan for the next race and hopefully, next time, be able to execute it. The trip to Tempe was a great one. I had lunch on Saturday with Bryan Dunn and had a great time with him...thanks for lunch Bryan! I also met

  • Comments: I can say I had a humbling lesson taught to me in SOMA, one I am not soon going to forget. I just hope I can learn and grow from this and not make the same mistakes again!! Great race, great venue. Looking forward to coming back (without imploding!!)

  • Comments: Great race but just wasn't my day. Even if I didn't have the stomach issues, the heat would have slowed me way down. They didn't have ice on the course for about 1/2 the run. They should have known since they knew how hot it was going to be. Hard to cool down with luke warm water
