  • Comments: Based on my expectations due to my lack of training, I am pleased with the results of this race in a way, but I am also very dissapointed because I know that I could have done much better if I hadn't neglected my training leading up to the race. 2nd place finished about 20 seconds ahead of me, so I know if my run fitness was where it is capable of being and normally is, I would have definitely moved up a spot. All in all, lesson learned. I gotta get out and train!!

  • Comments: This was the first race for me to do with the AG. I still am 220 pounds, but I want to be fast so I thought I would push harder racing with the age groupers. When the results were first show I was 4th place and I was dissapointed. why? I am very competitive! I had a goal of 1:25 and I missed by a few minutes. For the first time I think I do not train near hard enough, but things will change. I hooked direc TV up in the garage so I can get on the trainer when it is dark so I can get interval and tempo training in. I want to shave 49 minutes off my HIM time and this race was a wake up call. Now I am off to find money for a power tap, garmin and coach- LOL

  • Comments: It was awesome having my wife & girls, Justin & girls at the race cheering. My mother in law was also still in town which was kinda cool. Thanks for the support! The RD and support did a great job with this race. I can't think of anything I would improve on. Traffic control was OUTSTANDING. Timing was up quickly - food / drinks were spot on. I am sure some competitors may feel slighted by the bike in and out in the same location favoring those of us with sweet transition locations. I acknowledge that I was blessed in this race and I am sure I will be on the flip side in some race in the future. The live music was a nice touch. Thanks Eric for the great advice - we haven't been working together long at all but I have already seen the results of working with a coach. I drank the Power Tap Kool-Aid and am more dedicated than ever to training with power.
