  • Comments: Overall, beat last year's time by 1:10, so not to bad--faster in everything but the swim, and major improvement in T1.

  • Comments: The Newport Beach Triathlon is a good one. I think the swim course is great. I like the salt water and the calm conditions. The transition area is too far from the swim, but was otherwise fine. The bike course was fun and very scenic. The run course was poorly marked, smelly and ugly. It was the worst run course I've been on. My biggest complaint is that the race organizers, who usually rock (they did an awesome job with Long Beach and Cataline) need to keep spectators and finished athletes off the course and need to keep spectators out of the transition area period. Overall, I liked the race and will do it again.

  • Comments: This was probably the best race I could have done for my first triathlon. It was well organized and not too crowded. The course was scenic and I'm sure if I could have done more ows, the swim would have been pretty easy. Overall it was fun.

  • Comments: Nice course and well organized. It would be a great race if the run course was marked better right out of the transition and if there were some organization and security in the transition area. During my transition from bike to run, I had to manuever crowds in the transition area (including non racers). Additionally, I just walked out with my bike and no one check to see if it was actually mine.
