  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I improved 2 minutes from 2010. I was in a very competitive AG. 5th is a little disappointing, but overall I had a fairly strong race. I always lose significant time on the bike. Until I dedicate more time on the bike (any maybe get a new bike), this will always be my limiting factor.

  • Comments: This was one of the best executed races I've had. Mentally I was prepared to go in as just a fun small "hometown" triathlon that I wanted to take it easy on and just have fun.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This event is the Mid-Atlantic Collegiate Championships, and many, many MANY people questioned why the heck I chose such a tough course for my first tri. The fact is, I definitely would have had significantly better times and less trouble on an easier course, but I didn't choose triathlon because I was looking for something "easy" to do. This is a good race, and when I run it again next year, I know what to expect, and that I will improve very significantly.

  • Comments: Very good race. Thank you God I did not have the expectation decimation I call the Angel's race. The volunteers were good, I just wish they had more music. I guess I'm spoiled from watching the Louisville Ironman and hearing music constantly. Thank you SetUp, you guys did a great job!
