Event comments:

I finished 17/23 in my AG last year and was hoping to be in the top half of my AG this year. Turns out that I was 4th in my AG and only missed the 3rd place medal by 39 seconds. The worst thing is that I remember the guy passing me on the last mile and thinking to myself there is no reason to push any harder since what was the difference between 10th and 9th place!! Not a mistake I will make again. This was a great tune up race and transition practice for my IM coming up!

Keep in mind that the taper period is as important to your body as all of the long hours you’ve put in the pool, on the bike and on the road. It is meant to help you rest, recover and rejuvenate.
