  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Plenty of energetic High School aged volunteers on the course cheering everyone on. They did a great job. Course is a bit odd as the parking lot is also part of the run course. As I left the T2, the early finishers were congregating in their cars, around tents, etc, but were on the course. I had to go around them as I started my run. At the finish, many people were loading bikes and trying to back out. At least by this point, people were looking out for finishers. Good race, but needs some marshalling in those areas.

  • Comments: Swim was canceled due to unsafe water conditions from hurricane flooding and tropical storm run off. Swim was replaced with a 1.5k run. Glad sponsor and USAT were testing water prior to race. Volunteers were great, very encouraging, and directions on turns were very visable. Steep bike course, very challenging. Nice finishing metals. Great overall event, free buffet afterwards (hotdogs, drinks, salads, pierogies) for all racers and spectators.

  • Comments: The race was very well organized and the food afterwards was great. It's not their fault I had a bad race. If I had to complain about something it would be the lack of swag- nothing. Oh well, This had a major hilly bike course and I'd like to do it again. Next time I'll feel better.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Volunteers were awesome!! Lots of teenagers cheering and yelling and never getting tired of being supportive!! Music could change a little bit and having everyone (even USAT members) fill out a USAT registration form at packet P/U made for a long line. The swim started a little late and on an unusually hot and humid day like today, it was tough out there.

  • Comments: Good race. I knocked off more than 8minutes off my time from last year, which I am very happy about (my goal was to knock off 6mins). It is frustrating, though, that I placed in my AG last year at 1:27, but did not place this year at 1:18...a lot of competition.
