Race Reports for Ohio Fall Challenge Sprint Triathlon, Duathlon & Aquabike at Deer Creek 2008

[1]

Race rating (3)

Comments: HFP does great races, this one is odd as there is a sprint/oly/half going at once. I feel bad for the 1/2races as they had to deal with everyone leaving after their races. I think I like the sprints as they are quick and fun.

Comments: This was my first triathlon event so it is difficult to compare but I have ran many road races in my life and this seemed to be very organized to me. I probably could have picked a triathlon with a shorter swim for my first, but I made it through so that was a confident boost to my ability. Looking forward to seeing what I can do to my time a year from now.

Comments: Triathlons remind me of politics - in this regard. Once Election Night is over, the results are in and the winners and losers are declared, there's nothing left to do. It is what it is. But the next day, the campaign already begins for the next election. Yesterday's race is what it is. I'm now looking to April, to my next race and to moving up in the rankings. After my first race in June, I had this euphoria that lasted for a day or two. I didn't have that this time, nor did I expect to, really. Last time truly felt like a baptism of sorts. That can only happen once. I also wasn't as worn out as my last one. It's probably because of all the training I've been doing. My body's more used to it now. My goal heading into this was to come in under 2.5 hours. I did it. So, 197 people started the race, but two DNF and never made it to the bike. So, the big question is did I come in dead last or did I come in third to last? I'm leaning towards the latter.
