Great to hear Steve!! Good luck. Keep us posted. It is amazing what a race date will do to kick up your motivation.

I knew you'd be a natural after all of those long bike rides. That's awesome the race went well and you're planning on doing more. After your take on the course I'm glad I'm doing a different one - that hill sounds brutal!

Wow, you did awesome! Thanks for the walk through of the race - I got butterflies in my stomach just thinking about it.

Congratulations! You kicked butt! and I am psyched to hear that you actually want to do it again:).

I hear your plan is to get Adrienne and I to do it with you. EEK...I'm gonna have to start training again.

Mike ~

Huge congratulations. Wildflower is a tough course - but you did it in fine style. And...just coming off of a huge trip too.

Recover well and welcome to the addiction.

CONGRATULATIONS MIKE! you did awesome! Your description of the race could well have been my description of the race last year: Swimming while being strangled, the disorientation, the bike, the hills on the run...ugh the hills on the run! It really brought me back and even though I am sitting here reading your description of the run and remembering how torturous it was for me, all I want to do right now is pick my next triathlon and go out for a run.

This is seriously one of the hardest triathlons you can do and to have it be your first you should be so proud of your performance. You are officially a triathlete!

Good stuff Mike!! You sound ready to go! I'm so glad to hear about you coming back after that somewhat defeating training brick workout. Hope you are enjoying Costa Rica
