Comments and reflections about running races and triathlons that I have completed.

Escape the Cape Triathlon
Cape May, NJ June 8, 2025

The highlight of the Escape the Cape Triathlon is the 12 foot jump from the Cape May-Lewes Ferry for the start of the swim course. to swim to shore. This was not nearly as nerve racking as I expected. I completed the swim faster than I expected due to the current being in my favor. The hardest part of this race is the run, since around 1.5 miles of it is on sand along the beach.

Boulder Sunrise Triahlon
Boulder, CO June 29, 2025

The race location make this triathlon will worth doing. The swim course takes place at the Boulder Reservoir which is set among the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains that frame the city of Boulder. The bike course is a bit of.a slog as it is a slow climb. The run takes place along the dams of the Boulder Reservoir.
