  • Comments: I really wanted to like this race and make it a normal event for me and I proabably will. It was not very well organized though, vehicular traffic allowed, nobody really checking transition area to make sure only those in there were supposed to be, and just overall feeling of being thrown together vs my other races and events I have been to.

  • Comments: Tis was my first season of triathlons and today was my first Oly. It's been quite a change over the last year. I've lost 50lbs (although I've put about 10 back on in the last 2 months) and began to get physically active again. I've always been very athletic and generally in good physical shape until the last few years. I played football, baseball and basketball in high school and football in college. About half way through the run I began to get extremly frustrated because I knew that I was going to be BOP again and was getting passed by some very un-athletic looking people. (No offense to them, they were kicking my butt) Then I began to reflect back on my first season and I'm proud of how far I've come. One year ago, I would have thought that I would have been much more likely to have been laid up in the hospital with a heart attack today rather than finishing my first Oly tri. So I've still got a long way to go but I'm proud of how far I've come even if I was BOP today.
