  • Comments: Overall, I am very pleased with my results. Enjoyed the entire experience and am looking forward to training for a longer distance event next year. To all the people who are thinking about trying, you will be surprised what you are capable of and you don't have to spend a ton of money to do one. I did it without a wetsuit and with a mountain bike that has been sitting in my garage for a few years.

  • Comments: When I arrived at 7:30+, the buoys were only just then being blown up and put in the water - felt like this could have been taken care of earlier, probably would have caught the drifting buoy issue before the race. Food good (dogs and burgers), but no healthier options (fruit, juice, muffins). Supportive volunteer staff with flags, gave clear directions. The ride course was NOT swept, and I passed over many dangerous patches of rock, sand, and divots in the path to the park. A simple trip around the course with a broom would have improved safety. Still, a gorgeous day in a gorgeous park - can't argue!

  • Comments: My first DNF. I'm not real happy to report this, but I'm not too upset either. Last week, I came down with a nasty flu that kept me off my feet for five days. Finally, after five days of waiting it out, I went for a run to try and sweat it out. I thought I had succeeded because I went to work the next few days, and started running again. I didn't feel 100%, but felt pretty good. I took Friday off to "taper" for my end of season final local triathlon. On Friday night, I was woken up by a 30 minute coughing fit, and ended up tossing my cookies as a nice bonus. I got up on Saturday morning feeling OK, but not great. I delayed, and delayed making my mind up if I should even got to the race. I waited until literally the last minute I could, and then went for it. I was the last person to get there, and ran to the water as they were counting down to the start. I had a pretty typical MOP swim, and got out feeling like crap. I jogged to T1, and got my bike (after searching for a bit),

  • Comments: scary wipe-out for Karen Nault, and it took way too long for med help to get there - about 20 mins. before ambulance, which was not on site and had to battle traffic
