Tri Fall Creek Falls

Fall Creek Falls Triathlon

Fall Creek Falls State Park, TN

August 15, 2010

This was my first time doing this race and actually my first tri of the year.  After doing a 9:17 iron distance last fall I have not been motivated by triathlon goals.  Most of my focus has been on coaching my athletes, and knocking out the Vermont 100.

The quality that Race Day Events puts into their events was my experience at the race, and I was pleasantly surprised by my results.

Michael Pashal, really glad to be done with his first Olympic distance.  He crossed the finish line with a HUGE smile on his face.  You will not find a more steady-tempered triathlete anywhere.
