  • Comments: Well run. Solid volunteers. Good course. Awesome finishers medal (this year's medal is double the size of last year's). The entire race day event went smoothly. Pre-race communication has some room for improvement. Website was out of date for a while, despite early email blasts to sign up for the event. The bike course changed a couple of times without any notification.

  • Comments: This was my 1st Olympic distance. I had a lot of trouble but I finished, I didnt quit and fought through a lot of pain. Better than sitting on the couch all day I guess. BTW, nothing to me is more motivation than the better triathletes who finish and come back to the course to cheer you on. Not just standing there clapping but looking you in the eye as you pass and talking directly to you. This always impresses the heck out of me. Thanks to all of you that do that. You make a difference.

  • Comments: I've attended many races (bike, run and motocross) over the past ten 10 years. This was by far the most organized, well-run race I've attended. They used this Ultramax timing system thing and I was able to get a printout immediately after my race with all my times and finishing position (although they are preliminary and my final results did change slightly). That was extremely cool. Maybe a lot of triathlons do this same thing, but it is a great touch. Everything - registration, parking, body marking, aid stations, on-time start - all very smooth.

  • Comments: This was well run, upbeat and fun-lots of spectators, not a bad venue. Parking is tough for spectators that want to watch but not arrive at 6am. Finishing medal is cool and a good race packet which I haven't seen in some time
