  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The course offers a great challenge in an attractive setting. Compared to my last outing at the sprint distance this was a dream. I have done this distance on a much easier course and only just avoided dead last in AG. So much nicer to be racing with the pack than on your own at the end. Some minor organisational weaknesses but nothing too bad.

  • Comments: The only problem was the first buoy let go just before our wave so we had to guess how far to swim straight before making a right turn.

  • Comments: This is a good race - the Subaru people do a great job of organizing things, and the course is really challenging. They couldn't help the weather which really put a literal damper on things. I think I needed to be more prepared for the climbs - I thought I liked climbing hills...I guess not so much. I'm pretty disappointed with my bike on this, actually, but stoked about my run split. Maybe I should just stick to running...

  • Comments: Hard to say anything bad. It's slick and well organized. Oh crap, except for the timers screwing up my times. What's up with that? Was my battery in my transponder dead? Don't you think they should test this stuff out? Brutal. But whatever, at least I could more or less figure it out. :S Edit: The timing chip guys found my transponder and I've got my actual times. I was pretty close with my guesstimating. My exact time was bang-on, and everything else other than the bike was within 15 seconds. Not bad. Standings still to be updated on the site, but I think they should be correct.

  • Comments: Even though I didn't get the result I was hoping for + the fact I had some issues on the day, I still really liked the race. Great participation, tough but fair course. They just need to order some warmer weather.

  • Comments: If you were in the first 2 waves, then the course would have been nicely blocked off. However, being in the last wave resulted in me having to wait behind cars in traffic and police interrogating me 'are you in the race' to determine whether or not to let me through intersections. Did this feel like a race? No, it felt like a regular city-ride -- nothing special for my first triathlon.

  • Comments: On the way up to the event I was thinking that as much as I love training (and I really do) did I really want/need to actually compete in races? Having not competed in a triathlon for 10 months I forgot what it was like. Well after the event, I had my answer. YES I DO. I loved every painful minute of it and was smiling form the finish line all the way home. While my age group placing is mediocre my overall placing was average and I'm okay with that. Since my last event, my swim pace improved by over a minute per 100m, my bike pacing improved despite the massive climbs and tired legs and my run was still decent despite having to stop several times due to bad cramping. I love this sport!!!
