Race Notes: This race was the morning of some horrible rain/windstorms. Fortunately, they abated for the start, and during the run (although it heated up some...). But during the bike, the rain was awful. So hard it hurt. The wind was also killer. Despite this, my swim and bike were really fine. The average power on the bike was a bit low, probably because of all the focus on the conditions, and maybe because of the big hiking week before. But I collapsed badly on the run, coincident with GI problems. I really hope the GI issues were the cause of that... Large high-vegetable dinner the night before? Someone else had the same meal and the same problem. Not sure if that was causal, but I hope so.

Race Notes: Awesome day. Side by side race with Christopher. Run was very average, but both swim and bike times were fast. PR of 2:23 for this distance. Christopher hit 2:20, so it wa a great day!

Race Notes: Just a fun train-through race.

Race Notes: Oh my goodness....mud, mud mud. Car got stuck in the mud. Got to the race just minutes beforehand. Still had a decent finish and a great time. Handled the run VERY well. Stronger on the hills than in previous years. Good deal.

Race Notes: I was a little disappointed in my bike power and swim time, but otherwise this was a great day, considering it was a train-through event. First time Christopher beat me. Quite fun, that.

Race Notes: Great race. Almost everything went almost as perfectly as it could have. Ultimate goal was 5:10 and I was sub 5:09. Is sub 5:00 in the realm of possibility?????

Race Notes: bike pace slowed by a few nasty hills, but run was very strong. Swim not great, in large part because of curved course i couldn't see well. Finished strong, so this is a good tune up.
