I feel I had a good swim, a little slow due to not training to my fullest during the last three weeks due to being sick and work requirements. I also hooked my arm on the lane dividers several times during the lane changes.

Practice swimming the serpentine.

Much better bike this year than last, but like with the swim I could have done much better had I trained properly. I had ridden my mountain bike only once prior to this race and that was a preview of the course two week before.

Spend more time honing my Mountain bike skills and endurance.

The run, like the bike was on the UAF Ski Trails, lots of hills and wet boggy areas.

Train better

Hydrating and eating. lots of good food choices, fresh fruit, bagels, water and powerade.


This being an off road triathlon, I was a little slow due to not training to my fullest during the last three weeks due to being sick and work requirements. I was able to cut about 20 minutes form last year, but, I know I could do much better, if I spent more time riding in like conditions. I exerted way too much on the bike, which caused me to be a little slow on the run as well.


This was a great event, much better organized and conducted than last year.
