  • Comments: On the negative side, it was good to change the swim direction due to strong current, but I didn't like how the swim was cut short (a lot shorter than what it should've been). The bike course was crowded, especially the second lap. Finally, the race started 5 minutes late and the awards ceremony 15 minutes late (not a big deal anyways). Overall, it is a well organized race. Lots of local people, fun events, and fast course. Plus it is 10 minutes away from my house, which is a big plus. I will keep doing it at least once a year.

  • Comments: Good race for me. Definitely the toughest course, conditions, and the most competitive (and largest) field I have done. Decided to sign up for "Clydesdale 185lbs+ 40 years and older as it was a smaller category and thus a smaller swim wave. Race start was delayed, but overall good organzation. The 1/3 mile beach run between swim exit and transition area was not my favorite.

  • Comments: Excellent race! I improved from last year and with each race I feel more comfortable and stronger. Having my friends Maria and Dave there was so great. They stayed w/ me while I recovered and grabbed my stuff. Maria was so cute... she was taking pictures all along, from me grabbing my stuff, to walking w/ Marcello, a picture of just Marcello, it was so cute to see her. I got a text message from another friend, Rachel, who is in Mexico. God, that also touched my heart. Maria took a picture w/ her cell phone and transferred it to Facebook so my FB friends could follow along. Another friend, Maribel, immediately posted a congratulatory note upon seeing the pic. All this love from my friends today, and the well wishes I got before my race from my friends, rivaled my triathlon performance today. It made it that much more special. As I write this I'm thinking of my BT friends too... after all its all their fault that I'm doing this crazy thing in the first place. It was good to see

  • Comments: I don't know what happened. I've noticed over the past month that I struggle to do the volume I used to do just a few months ago. A 4 mile run a few months ago was a piece of cake whereas lately it has been brutal to finish. I thought I trained enough these past few weeks. I don't know what is wrong. I feel like I'm going backwards. Doubt I will do the 2nd and 3rd race of this triology. Maybe I'll change my mind. But today I'm pretty tri-ed out and frustrated. Can't have good days everyday, I realize. But the bad ones suck ass nonetheless.

  • Comments: Overall a pretty good race. The start was delayed by about 10 minutes because a generator which inflated the "start" gate ran out of gas. Not happy with how they timed the swim into T1. Also wish the bike course had been the full 12.5 miles.

  • Comments: Excellent race. I wasn't too far off my goals, but it's good I found out what I need to work on. Still have plenty of time until september. What a great experience.

  • Comments: I was hoping for sub 1:20 but considering the lack of preparation, I'm OK with the outcome. On a scale of 1-10, I'd give my perfomance a 6.5. I'm not 100% happy with today, but given my lack of training this past month, I prolly got exactly what I deserved today. Triology race #2 is in 4 weeks and I hope to be 10 pounds lighter. We'll see how that affects my time.
