  • Comments: So this was the last triathlon of the year. I accomplished more or less what I set out to do. I learned that I do not like to swim in cold water triathlons and that running slow for endurance causes you to lose foot speed. With the tradeoff that I can recover quickly. Black Diamond was a pretty race but would have to think about doing it as a tri vice duathlon because of the small lake with the cold water.

  • Comments: THUMBS UP AND HIGH FIVES TO ALL... or at least to the few people that were left :) First HIM and First Half Mary in the bucket! Could not have asked for a better day weather-wise, a better venue, or a better race for my first half. Awesome day. I am truly in a state of wonder at what our bodies can accomplish when we set our minds to it. I love this distance, everything is just challenging enough and requires a lot of mental fortitude. I can't wait for my next HIM - See you in Oceanside! Thanks to everyone for all your encouragement and support throughout this training cycle - it made all the difference today!
