• Comments: This was my 3rd USAT sanctioned Triathlon and I ended up with a 3rd place age group finish (one in my age group finished top 5 overall so I get a 3rd place age group prize even though I was fourth) so I guess 3rd time's a charm. Not sure if there's any more for me this summer but I'll train from now until next year and we'll so how I do then. This event was organized and executed pretty well. Looks like some cycling and leg work is in order as well as swim and run. I have access to a great personal trainer (hopefully the budget allows) and my gym has a 25 yd pool, great treadmills and a great cycle class. I have no excuses when the weather's bad.
