Race rating (4)

Comments: It took a few hours to get in the right frame of mind to evaluate the race. This was only my second tri. My first one left me with a high, and I couldn't wait for the next one. After yesterday's race, though, I was feeling kind of low. I didn't want my family to ask how it was, because I didn't want to tell them, "not that good." After sleeping on it, though, I feel a lot better. This was only my second race, after all, and I am still learning. I am going to chalk this one up to a sophomore slump and come out swinging for revenge next time out. I still can't afford a new bike, so I will try to get faster on the one I have. Definitely a experience for learning and growing.

Comments: This race was iffy as we drove 1 1/2 hours to get to it. As we drove north on I-71 approaching Columbus, we saw nothing but black skies and lightening, eventually driving into a moderate thunder storm. As we arrived at the race, the rain all but stopped. I've been out of the TRI racing scene for a few years, but easily fit back into the tempo of the activities, which at its core, really didn't change. It's a bit more commercialized and expensive, but that just seems to be a natural progression of this sport. It was well organized, and fun. We didn't get a chance to stay for the POST race activities, if there were any. I had to get home to work 2nd shift, so we loaded up and headed south, making a quick stop at Wendy's and Taco Bell. My usual post race activity is to go home, order pizza and drink loads of Guinness, but work is short on bodies, and vacation time needs to be saved, so off to protect society I go.
