  • Comments: Next time don't show up late and wait 20 minutes in the wrong line and don't forget to get numbers drawn on you and don't forget to get a chip. Test out your pumping tire skills beforehand because the tire nozzle kept bursting off front tire... my pump or I wasn't strong enough to fully pump back tire, got help from a bike person. I forgot to lay out my bike shorts for the first transition cause of the rush. No time to warm up.

  • Comments: I was not ready for a triathlon. 5 months ago I couldn't run 2km, or swim 50m. I am going to do it again next year with a vengeance though and kick the water's ass. :D

  • Comments: Happy with bike and run. Awful swim, but I got through it. Somewhere on BT, it says - DFL >>> DNF >>> DNS, which means "Dead Frxxxing Last" is WAY better than "Did Not Finish" is WAY better than "Did Not Start". I'm not even DFL on the swim. Before race, some good looking muscular guy with a spiffy bike yelled "Patricia". I turned around and had no idea who the guy was. He said, it's "Mike Cheliak". Mike has been the official photographer for the HSBC Tri Series for many years.
