  • Comments: Better than last year. Race started about 20 minutes late for some reason but I was able to start on time. Beats the one hour delay of last year. Still not crazy about how they mix everyone up with the swim start and wasn't happy about the condensed age groups. Combining male 40-49 put 33 guys in the same group, not counting the top 3 overall finishers who were also 40-49. In this race, 8/10 top finishers were male 40-49!

  • Comments: So I love this race and it's hard to pick on it but the quality is declining a bit. Packet pickup was easy but when my wife picked up hers, the race director was a bitch to her for no reason at all. The race started late but this wasn't the fault of the organizers. The post race nutrition was weak. No Gatorade, just water, bagels, and pepperoni rolls.

  • Comments: Because the police were late the race was delayed by more than an hour. Once it got going it was very well rujn.

  • Comments: I really like these simple local races. People seem to be there to have fun. This is my 4th time doing this race and I'm sure I'll do it again. One negative... It was neat to have Tim Hola racing in the same race, but really, a top Kona athlete racing a local race as an AG competitor? Come on really...

  • Comments: Other than the swim counter (I will count from here on out), it was a great little "tune up" race. The wrench bling is cool too.

  • Comments: I ended up leaving the race very concerned about the way they were directing traffic at HR pkwy outside the rest center. During the race I was hauling through that section of the race course and didn't give it a second thought...but as I watched some of the riders later in the day the cops were doing a horrible job! They weren't even facing the direction that the racers were coming from and multiple times I watched them let cars go right when bicyclists were on their way! They also badly needed an officer or volunteer by the church parking lot to the south of the rec center. Even when I was on the course(6:10 - 6:40AM)there were people coming and going right in the middle of the race course, and later I watched a bad accident with a racer where a car pulled RIGHT in front of him going 25+mph and the rider struck the car went end over end and got badly injured...police, ambulance, firetrucks, etc. Not sure if I'd do this tri again due to safety concerns.

  • Comments: Wrinkles included no notice on body marking the night before and chip distribution at pool. The former, I showed up wearing narrow cut jeans that I knew from prior experience (stream wading at Great Sand Dunes) they weren't going above my knee; the latter, it cost warm-up time based on how it was handled. Transition area was kinda cramped after the swim, not bad by the run. No clock at the end, due to wave start with hand-held computer.

  • Comments: This was a super-mini. I thought I was going to have to do double the distance, so when I trained (which was not much) I trained for more than I had to do. Very Fun and I like my medal.

  • Comments: I'm happy with my performance since this was the first triathlon I've participated in. I'm looking forward to the next one (July - Olympic) and will probably try another sprint one at the end of the summer and try to better this time.

  • Comments: The transition could have been set up a lot better. This was by far the worst set up I've encountered in a tri. Trying to get 10 bikes in a 6 foot rack is impossible and should have been obvious. Other than that it was ran pretty well and there were a good amount of volenteers for this small of a race. If not for the pool swim set up, I would probably do this race again. They also had nicer awards than a lot of the big races so kudos for that!

  • Comments: Well done Tri!!!. I always like a race where I get a medal for basically sucking... Seriously, I had no plans of doing this race up until Thursday, and even then, I intended on DNF'ing when I came into T2. So I'm happy I sucked it up and finshed. I have the Boulder sprint Sunday. I'm 90% not doing it.

  • Comments: HRCA is doing a good job with their tris. This is only their second one and they have the advantage of having an experienced triathlete organizing the races. Second tri much better than my first. I was super happy with my time, having cut off 22 minutes from a similar distance sprint last summer.
