  • Comments: This was just a training race for me, I was instructed by my coach not to race it. I also was only doing the Aquabike because of a healing ankle injury. I had fun, but was bummed about my ranking in my AG...but it's also sort of an irrelevant number

  • Comments: In hindsight, Wow I completed a HIM. The swim and bike went well. My nutrition plan let me down and my run turned into a walk. The good news is that I wasn't sore the next day, or even the next. I guess trial and error are how you figure out nutrition. I am glad I made this mistake here and not in Nov at IMFL. Initially I was bummed, but I am over it. I had fun, I learned a ton (my 3rd Tri) Had a great run today and have a long ride planned tomorrow. IMFL look out!!

  • Comments: I set no goals for this race but to finish. I had only trained weeks or so after doing my first Oly, so I knew I could complete it. Sub 6 hours and top half of the finishers is way better than I expected. Better management of my run nutrition and transition area and who knows what I could have done. All of my milestone races (1st tri, 1st Oly, and now 1st HIM) have all been Jack's races. They're all very well run and very safe. Some people gripe about his rules and dictator-ish personality, but it works for me. Next stop - Ironman...

  • Comments: This was a nice local race, close to home. I'll definitely do it again. Thanks to the BT jock strappers: my wife, swatson, tri_it_cajun_style, DerekL, jcagg90, Comet, Tri_Take_Me_Away, Chippy, Doughboy, sebjamesm, and Tracy (sebjamesm's wife). It's always motivating and just really nice to see and hear supporters.

  • Comments: .06 seconds! Are you kinding me? So close to breaking 6 hours. Still, it was a PR Half Ironman for me by 11 minutes so I was happy. I needed this race for some confidence heading into my last 53 days of traning for IMFL. This is a good race as usual by Jack. I just wish he could shorten his speak before the race so we could start as early as possible. If you want a race that is hot windy and flat, this is the race and/or series to do (Ironhead Tri Series- Metroplex Sprint, Ironhead Oly and Prarieman Half). I even have a classic shirt to say that I have completed the Tri Challange! That's how it's spelled on the shirt.
