Course was diffinitely long. I swam a 24 minute at West Point and I felt like I pulled harder here. Can I say enough how much I LOVE the 2 person every 5 seconds starts? It makes it SO much easier to not get kicked.



Not much. Swimming is a strong point for me, but I want to make sure that it doesn't drop. Need to up my yardage in weekly workouts - maybe include more sprintwork.

T1 went pretty well. Rolled socks down like a doughnut (per a friend's suggestion) - then you just stick your toes in and roll up. Awesome technique.

Make sure that my shoes get fastened well. I had to stop at the line to re-velcro my right foot before I got on the bike

Training partner says I get complacent on the bike. Maybe that's true. Or maybe I'm just trying to rest up after a hard swim and before pushing myself on the run. I know that I DEFINITELY shouldn't have let him beat me by 2 minutes though.

Hills were hard. So was smelling manure around mile 11. But the bike ride was a lot of fun.

Push myself. Hard when you aren't passing that many people (are are getting passed left (not right) by guys) - but know that I need to pick it up at least another mph.

Yankz change your T2 world! Thank goodness I had a running visor to put on or I probably would have run with my helmet on (see Comet's race report).

Remember to pick up gel to take. Got to end of rack line and had to run back to get it.

Can't believe that I'm running PR 10k's at the end of triathlons. Like that fact that you always saw people coming and going on course - you could gauge how you were doing.

Running through campgrounds is fun because all of the visitors outside their campers cheer you on.

Walked around waiting for others in group to finish. Water, Energized popsicles (mmm) and other goodies


I closed on my first home on Friday and had the movers come that same day. Needless to say, however much I tried to rest on Friday, it just didn't happen. I wanted to get my new place in some sort of shape. Stress and lack of sleep might have limited my performance, but I think that i had a pretty good race overall.


Volunteers out on course were great. Not withstanding the swim distance being a little long, I think that gamultisports puts on great events.

Took home an age group win which is really exciting - especially since this is just my 3rd tri of the season (and only 4th ever).

My body was more sore after Saturday than it has ever been before - felt like I had just run a marathon.

I had a great time on Saturday though. It's always fun to do these with friends
