  • Comments: Swim events ran ahead of schedule, rest of event late (as typical) while waiting for the kids portion. Should just schedule the adult start time 45 min after the kids instead of 30.

  • Comments: Overall I was ecstatic with my time. I wanted to go under 1:10 and I crushed that by over a minute. My swim and run were both better than I had even hoped for. My bike was a little frustrating because of all the gear changes but still solid. This is definitely my best race I've ever done. Now if I could just drop out of the Clydesdale division I might be able to drop even more time. I did however managed to drop over 9 minutes from last years time.

  • Comments: Hard to hear the directions verbally provided over the microphone as they continued to play the music. Was well prepared with the directions that had been written, so this wasn't an issue for me, saw that it was with others though.

  • Comments: This was my first time with this race. Enjoyed it a lot! Volunteers did a great job at intersections on the bike course. Definitely would do it again. Wish they'd make a shirt I'd actually wear though - no offense to the designer. I'll recruit people next year!

  • Comments: This was my second time that I have done this race and I improved more than I had thought I could. year Swim Bike Run 2007 0:14:14 0:36:06 0:30:07 2006 0:21:48 0:41:53 0:33:29 I was able to improve my time by 0:19:43 I was hoping for 0:16:00 and got a lot more. I could have even done better if I would have done a few things different, next year. As a side not my son did the kids tri for 17 years and younger. He placed first in his age group 10 and younger. He did the bike on a single speed bmx bike when everyone else had bikes with gears. He ran a 8:30 mile. His race was 200 yds swim, 5 mile bike and 1 mile run. HE MADE ME SO PROUD!!!!! Got to finally meet bradword (Brad Thompson) and yes he is an awesome person. Even if he like to mix up the hornets’ nest on the forum. Got to me his family and spend some time talking shop (computers and bikes) and yes his new wheels a so sweeeeet. Can you believe he threw down a 14:58 for this first swim

  • Comments: Fun race. It was great to meet Mark (dochalladay). That was one of the high points of the event. Great guy and a lot of fun to chat with. I hope to see him at a lot of events this year and in years to come. The event was a lot of fun and the Y did a great job. I do wish they had more drink stations on the run and more information in the packets. They ran out of swim caps and I didn't get one. More info on race times, and where race pictures would be would have been nice in the packet. Overall a fun time! Super bummed there were no finishing photos?!?
