How did you do? What age group did you race? How did you like the water? That was the first time I had done that race and third race this year. I also did  tinman and granite bay. It was a good race course. TBF has good races.  Have a great off season training for next year.

I finished, and I had a great time! It was a really fun course.  I cant wait for the next one.

I raced in the 30-34 age group. Im 33. The water was ok, I swam in my surfing wetsuit which really drug me down, it was way too heavy, but I was extremely warm. I had a flat tire, and that slowed my bike time down quite a bit. I didnt have a pump, so had to wait for someone to finally stop and let me borrow there pump.  

My time was 2hrs and 30 mins. Not good, but plenty of room for improvement.  I think Im going to sign up for some 10k's and maybe a half marathon before my next triathlon. 

How did you do? What group did you race in?

I was in the m35-39. I finished in 1:45 much room for improvement. I dropped a water bottle on my second lap. I also forgot my ear plugs and was a little dizzy coming up the ladder. I plan on a half marathon in Chico in November but then its just training.  You have to check out the black butte tri hosted by Chico tri club. Its a great race to kick off the year. Happy training.
