not to downplay this race as average but it is a small town type of race ?> it's been in exstence for 25yrs and has always been a good race venue > the local YMCA puts this on > they have great volunteers > there were no flaws or confusion > everything went very smooth > i would recommend this race to anyone from a newbie to a veteran > it's a very good venue to start off as a newbie since the distances are very short > it's a really great venue for a veteran who wants to push the limits at a true sprint distance > you can absolutely go out and blow this race out w/o any restrictions from the outside worold so to speak > miniable traffic > never had a vehicle pass me and intrude in my space > big kudos to all involved > everyone always has a great time and a great race
