• Comments: The course was a hard one for a beginner....and this is someone who prior to April 2006 was a couch potato. I thought the bike course was very demanding and for a beginner, very challenging. The run course was fine for a beginner, but this beginner hates to run and didn't hardly train near enough to run. Overall the Jefferson Tri is a great triathlon and I am glad that I did it. But, I am disappointed in how I did overall. It has humbled me and made me realize that even though I am a triathlete, I want to be a better triathlete. Perhaps I am being too hard on myself and should pat myself on the back more. Perhaps I need to remember that prior to April, I was fat, unhealthy, unfit and not an athlete by any means. Perhaps I need to remember that I did something on Sunday that less than 10% of the population can say that they attempted or would attempt to do. Perhaps I need to be proud that at least I am taking steps to change myself into a healthier and fitter person. Perhaps I should

• Comments: This was a challenging bike course. If you are looking for a PR, it ain't going to happen on this course; this course was my slowest Personal Worst. It really makes you work in the 6 hill climbs. 2 really steep "dam" hills -- 4 others that were just long and steady. Expect your average speed to be at least 2-3 mph slower than other courses. About 1 mph sacrificed for every 2 hills. Being in the right gear will make a big difference. If you gear down too low......you just won't go anywhere. Good luck. Never again.

• Comments: Good race I met most of my goals I did not drown or fall off the bike, I did not come in last, but missed my 1:50 goal. I knew the 1:50 would be hard to reach I am satisfied with my performance I could not have done better in my current physical condition. Overall time was 1:58 by chip timing seems a bit off by my timing but I may have messed my timing up a bit. Ill add the remainder of information when the results are posted.
