  • Comments: Overall, and for my 2nd TRI this was a great effort. I've lost just shy of 30 pounds since starting this adventure, and compared to a lot of folks in the race i'm still carrying an asian gymnast extra on my body. So I can't complain about my performance too much... THE GOODS: I have never ridden so fast EVER! Wooohooo, the bike seriously rocked! I swam light years better than I did the last OWS, and there's room for more improvement here which will come with more speed work. I went all out the entire race and gave it all I could. I finished another tri! Wooot! THE BADS: I can't help being a little disappointed in my running. To be fair to myself - I have never run in my life, and couldn't even run a minute last September when I started training - and in that time have gone from 16+ minute miles to running 3 miles consistently at just under 13 min/mi. I know I will get better the more I run, but to lose 240 places because of it SUCKS! My competitive side is chaffing

  • Comments: It was my first race, but I was told it's very well organized and the transitions are better than average. I wouldn't argue. Things went off smoothly. I had a great time.

  • Comments: It was my first triathlon in open water. It was hard, but fun. So far, I always seem to wonder why I am doing this, but ultimately I'm glad I did it once it is over.

  • Comments: This was a great beginning tri and I really had a great time. I'd like to do this again next year because I really think I can step up my training and do well.

  • Comments: Swim seemed longer than 800m; run seemed longer than 3.1; I saw several people drafting. Swim maves made no sense--tri a tri people should have gone last. Lots of them were in my way the last 400m and that slowed me down. The transitions were rediculously long runs to get to your spot. Shorten bike running or warn people about how long you'll be running in your bike shoes.
