  • Comments: Really had a great time at this race. I guess the only thing I would do differently, after I pondered it the last couple of days, is, doing those 2 sprints last month kinda derailed my momentum I had built up in my training. I was still getting faster coming into this race and enjoyed both races last month, but just never felt I "got my groove" completely back in my training, mentally and emotionally, and that had never happened to me before. Race day, I was completely bouncing off the walls and was ready to bite nails in half. Was very happy to FINALLY get to the sub-6 mark!!!(This is my 4th 1/2) Especially after Marquee in April! This was a PR by 10:28!!! And.....14:03 faster than last year!

  • Comments: Glad I signed up for this race last minute because I surely would have regretted missing it as it was my last opportunity to race for the year. It was awesome having it in my back yard but to be brutally honest, I'm not a fan of the course. I'm sure I was a bit spoiled by Steelhead's course but the bike here was just too many u-turns and I didn't care for the three loop course. The upside though was the multi loop course made it feel like there were 5000 people out there. Really looking forward to a big off season of training, taking everything I learned from my rookie year this year and going under 5hrs next year. There is a lot of low hanging fruit that I think can save me a good chunk of time out there.

  • Comments: This was the final race in the Redrock series, it was a great show, everything on time and good and fast athletes. This is a pentultament event for the area and athletes have more years of experience at this length or longer, so with just 1 year under my belt, I feel good about the results, very proud. I MISSED 7th place by 4 seconds, arrrggghh! I would have come in 2nd place in the 45 - 49 AG, but it seem like there was three racers ahead of me that will graduate next year too.

  • Comments: It was my first half ironman distance race. I loved it. Well put on, well done, the wetsuit strippers were awesome, the bike course had too many u turns, but hey...I need to get over it, and the run course was pretty nice.

  • Comments: I was super happy with the entire event. Expo was decent, crowd was big and volunteers were great. I went in with decent expectations and I blew them away. Not only did I do well, but I learned a lot about how I race. Left this day with a really great taste in my mouth...
