This is still my favorite Sprint Tri! Andy and crew do a great job! The volunteers are top notch, Andy makes sure the course is safe and the after race events are really nice, with door prizes and awards.

I couldn't believe that my splits kept getting lower! I started to run harder after I passed the "5 km" sign and picked a few people that I wanted to pass.
 
Ladies, What am I Going to Wear? Gear Review: TYR Trisuit

Can anyone think of a better way to spend Labour Day weekend than doing your first tri? Ok, maybe doing your 2nd, 3rd...50th tri...but you get my point. :)
