Well lets just say there are a lot of very good swimmers on this island and we were all fighting to be number one. Very much a contact swim, doggy dog, someone actually grabbed my leg around the first buoy.

Hard to say, I thought next time I might place myself a little more back from the guys but I don't think that would have made a difference. Hopefully next time they will let the guys go first.

Be in swim shape would of helped.

Very happy with this time since I was breathing very hard and exhausted from the swim frenzy.

practice and be in shape for a race.

My goal was an hour and I came in just under! This was a hilly coarse and with the strong winds pretty tough, but I really liked it. I managed to pass about 10 people and was passed by 5 guys three in the beginning; one I followed for most of the race, and two more on a steep hill in the middle.

Be in biking shape, train!

This is where my relay teammate took over and did an excellent job!

I believe this a personal best for my friend.

walked around, took a shower, and rinsed the mud off.


Lack of training.


This was their first time running a triathlon. This a canoe club with race experience so they did a decent job for the short time they put the race together, the race started around 7:15 which the goal was 7:00, with lots of last minute registrations they did a tremendous job with the limited number of volunteers, they even got transition times with out using a timing chip. They plan on doing a series, I'm very excited
