positioned myself near front of my group (wave 2 for 40+); too much traffic in my 1st tri in June, so a little banging around into the first turn was OK

Nice flat course around the lake...lots of really nice kids from the Canyon High XC and track team volunteering at water stations

Run with more confidence...In my 1st tri in June the run kicked my butt, and ran at too easy...had a lot left after crossing finish line
Post race
Warm down:

Just walked around, talked to a few people, very nice crowd...heard race had a record 330 participants

Event comments:

Nice race that benefits the high school's XC and track teams. Laid back atmosphere but racing was fast. I'm planning on doing this race again next year
