| 1997 Triathlons have now ended for me. I'd set a few goals to complete the following races, either to improve on last year, or to set new goals for later seasons. That was accomplished, and I even set a great PR in my season-ending race!
Most of these races were new to me, which meant I'd be looking at each of them with an open mind; I found several to be just what I need to spruce up next season!

OK, ok, I'm not ready to race --- I need MORE TRAINING!
Boy, you've raced a lot --- and many different events --- I gotta know more!
