  • Comments: This is actually the third in an annual three race series that has been going on for 35 years. Very friendly, grass-roots-y, feel, but actually pretty well organized. Top women Michellie Jones and Julie Ertel showed up and raced, in the sprint and the Oly respectively...kinda cool to finish just ahead of Michellie Jones (although my wave started 6 minutes ahead of hers).

  • Comments: As noted above, they need to stage the swim start when there are so many swimmers. Despite that, I enjoy this event and plan on coming back. There were lots of volunteers who were very friendly and cheerful, easy check in, and the people in the race (competitors) were very supportive. Very organized race.

  • Comments: The Express (short course) was perfect for me, although I think the swim could be lengthened another 100 yds and the run could be lengthened another mile. I'm not sure if this would cause a conflict with the Championship Series race? Nevertheless, this was a very well organized race and I enjoyed myself immensely. Volunteers and cops did a great job!
