  • Comments: This was my first sprint triathlon. I had a great time. I wanted to finish in 2 hours. I did it in a little less than that. The swimming was the hardest part. I'd recommend training in open water if possible. I only have access to a pool. My goggles kept fogging up. I was worried about getting disqualified for going out of bounds. I doggie paddled part of this just so I could see. Hopefully I'll have an easier time with the swim at Scoggins Valley.

  • Comments: If I could, I'd love to say thank you and give a big hug to the volunteer that followed my stubborn self in the boat. Because of him I wasn't afraid during the swim. Should have been, but wasn't. It was very calming to have a boat right there. Looking back, I should have gotten in it. I'm really disappointed with the swim outcome - mostly because I feel in a way "cheated" out of the fun weekend that I'd trained and planned for. My next event is a Du and I'll be working on the swim for next season. I don't know that I can train to prevent it, but being a stronger more efficient swimmer can't hurt.

  • Comments: It was great fun to do an all women's race. I think a lot of women who otherwise wouldn't otherwise give tris a try come out for this one. It's a very supportive environment and beginner-friendly race course. A good venue for first-timers and a nice confidence booster to end the season on for me!

  • Comments: Again, loved this race. I met all of the goals I had set for myself. Although I wanted to place higher, my times were about where I expected them to be and overall this was a good post-knee-surgery race for me. This was a good reminder to race my own race!
