"Great day at Pumpkinman for me yesterday—a 50-minute PR for me at this distance [half-iron distance]. Clearly I was better trained for yesterday than when I trained myself for Timberman. Thanks!"

— Terry, Wilmington, Mass.

“Holy cow, I placed third in my age group [35-39 women] today! I felt pretty strong the whole race and even finished strong, but never expected to place. It was a tough course and big field. 

It may sound funny, but that 3rd place age-group finish means so much to me, especially after the rough winter I had. Thanks for helping me to get here.”  

— Susan, South Boston, Mass.

"I had an awesome—If not perfect—day yesterday. Easily one of my best races. It's awesome to meet my goals that I’ve set for myself (and beating them significantly) and have all the hard work pay off. 

I can officially say this year has been a success...and I still have more races to go to make it even better." 

— Mike, Chicago, Illinois

"The race on Sunday went really well [her first Olympic-distance triathlon]. The water was rough, but felt good doing it. On the bike, I averaged about 18.3 miles per hour and also felt really good. On the run, I totally surprised myself; I felt really good and paced myself well. All I can say is I had a great big smile on my face when I finished the race. I had so much fun.  I will have to give all the credit to you--my training really paid off!"

—Lisa, West Dennis, Mass.

"I finished in 12:53 [at Ironman Lake Placid; his first iron-distance triathlon]—overall a very successful day! I wanted to say thanks—I couldn’t have done it without you."

-- Dan Roy Braintree, Mass.
