  • Comments: Good race. I wish they had a water station for the Bike at the turnaround but other than that, very good race. I also like the new run course with the finish at the lake.

  • Comments: I think this race if very challenging. The swim is easy but the bike and the run are very hilly and I think it makes it quite hard. I personally think this is a great race but the price tag is just too high. I understand with other good races going on the same weekend that it would be hard to justify doing this one. I almost feel that I have to do it since its right out my door. In all, I'm pretty amazed by my results. I can not believe that I bettered my time from last year on very minimal training. The one thing that sticks out is my swim. I have not been swimming consistently at all and to better my time by almost 4 minutes is crazy. The only difference is that I had on a different wetsuit. Maybe that in conjunction with better navigation propelled me to a better time? Maybe the course was short? I have no idea. 2008 - 2:59:18 2009 - 2:56:45 I just uploaded some pictures although one of them hurts me: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/photos/photo-thumbnail...
