TTT 2009

[morena]

I completed the American Triple T again this past weekend as one half of the Hammering Half-pints. And, once again, it was both a fantastic and horrible experience. The range of emotions about racing 4 times in 3 days, waking up early, eating and drinking way too many energy drinks/bars/Gu/etc., and ensuring the PRP was quite broad. I both loved and hated the race. But, in the end, the people there made it so worthwhile.

Great to see Eric and other CTCers out there. Kaylyn was a most excellent partner, and came through to be my partner after Katy was unable to race. But Katy was with us every step of the way! Rick was also an amazing supporter and without him I don't think we could have continued -- especially on the last day.


The race was well-organized and is a great value. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in a challenge!

I totally agree with your sentiments!

I did it solo this year and thought the conditions were much tougher with the heat and humidity. I totally wilted! As always the race was just amazingly well run by HFP and a must-do event for multi-sport enthusiasts. I put up reports of all four races on the blog:

Are you doing it again next year? I'm totally bummed that this will be my last Triple T for quite some time. Heading off to Denver in a couple weeks and will have a pretty tough work schedule for the next 4 years. But I'll be back eventually to do it again!

Hey Jodi -- Top 10 is a great finish! Thank goodness for that sprinkler at the turn-around on the half-marathon...Kaylyn and I both thought we might melt in the humidity! I am 99.9% sure I won't be back for a third year in a row of Triple T, but I would definitely do it again - it is a fantastic experience. I'm sure you will have the pick of many great races out in CO -- I hope you like your residency and new home.

Thanks Rob. It was great having new and old friends to cheer for during the races.

I'm still working on my race report. Overall I had an awesome time with TTT. HFP rocks. This event could not have been run any better.

Nice job everyone. I did the stand alone HIM when they had it and remember the look on the faces of those doing the TTT on Sunday morning. Kind of a look of dread and disbelief that they had actually signed up for this.

I doubt one of these is in my future but I have said that before.

Congrats.
