  • Comments: I figured I would do this in a different format from my usual ramblings, so here is my best attempt to organise my thoughts about race weekend: Pre Race: Friday: So it was just me and my Dad on this trip, which was actually pretty cool. We took the Anacortes ferry down instead of taking the BC ferries over to Vancouver and driving through the border. We figured that would be the best move due to it being July 4th long weekend for our friendly neighbors to the south. We got into Everett around 3pm and found our hotel no problem. Great place to stay for race weekend. The Nest Western Navigator. Full kitchen. Magic stuff. We hit up a Trader Joe's(for those of you not in the know this is a great organic grocery store) to get some groceries and ended up having a couple great homemade meals instead of eating out at restaurants every day. We also hit up some outlet stores where I managed to get a couple good pairs of running shorts and shoes for cheap(compared to Canada). On a side note,

  • Comments: Great race! Superb organization, nice community, pretty course, lots of volunteers and spectators. Of course a PR by 1 hour and Clearwater slot (rolldown rocks!) are also factors in making this my favorite triathlon so far! :)

  • Comments: Not happy about going longer than 6 hours!! Its gonna make it easy to PR next year for sure! However, I'm stoked that I'm back! Its been 8 years of being out of shape and not taking good care of myself. I'm so glad my good friend Kilo_Dave challenged me to doing this race! He has been so helpful along the way! I am hooked!! I cant wait to log my training efforts and look at what everyone else is doing, huge motivation for me!! Now its time to strengthen my weakness and build on my strenths! I know next year I will crush my time!!

  • Comments: I didn't like how they changed the location of the bike water station. Expo is pathetic. Glad they forced me to attend the mandatory briefing and to find out that primo parking was limited and cost $10. Would like to see more cycle cops driving the course with bikes. Keep the local asswipes from being aggressive in their driving and passing of racers.

  • Comments: After everything that happened during this race I'm really happy with the results. I feel like it really pushed me mentally and I didn't let my psyche beat me. It gave me time to reflect and realize how fortunate I am to participate in this sport. I'm lucky to have the support system around me, the health, the time, and financial ability to do the things I love. I'm glad that I can compete at this level in a sport that I've only been involved for a year and a half.
