  • Comments: I am thrilled with this race! I'm thrilled that I completed a half ironman distance on a very hard course and felt as good as I did at the end. Energy issues can be dealt with. I had a ton of fun! I look forward to the challenge of this course next year! :-)

  • Comments: Overall, this was a great race for me. I came into it without any super big expectations. Of course I wanted to PR, but people told me that this course was super hard, and that times were often much slower than those on other, less difficult courses. Also, I knew that I only had a "recovery week" as a psudo-taper, and that I needed to race this such that it would be beneficial to my IMFL preparations. In spite of that all, I still had a personal best today, and even got out for an hour bike, post-race! Today was a big mental breakthrough. Afterall, racing if all mental--you put the hard physical hours in long before race day... and on race day, you have to make your mind believe that you can do what your body is capable of. And sometimes you even need to bullshit your body! :) I'm excited to enter the next 8 weeks of training. I know that if I put some quality time in over the next few weeks, I will have a great taper, and hopefully, a very satisfying and successful race on November 4t

  • Comments: Set up puts on a good race. They could have used ice up on the run course to cool the water and Cytomax. Other than that, good day. I rated the race as a good one because I cut 35 minutes off last year, even though I had the leg issues. Any time I can get faster from one year to the next, that's a good race. If I can figure out the leg issues, next year will be a great race.
