  • Comments: I enjoyed this race despite the torrential downpour of rain after I finished. I was thankful I wasn't still on the course as I had family that we tried to watch finish. This was my first tri, so I don't have much to compare to, but I do appreciate the fact that this seemed to go very smoothly, with lots of great volunteers (including the little cheering squad during the run), and lots of amenities.

  • Comments: My amazingly supportive Mom (to anyone who was there, she was likely one of the loudest bystanders) and my boyfriend (who took some great pictures) were SUCH troopers. We were all completely drenched by the end of the event, but no one complained and was so positive. I can't describe how awesome they both were and how thankful I was to have them both there. As for the race, it was absolutely fabulous. I have never seen so many volunteers lining a race course with such enthusiasm. The pre-race expo was AWESOME. Tons of very worthwhile vendors with samples and great sales. It was terribly unfortunate that the weather clearly spoiled some of the post-race festivities (Budweiser had a really cool mini-patio area set up). But even despite the weather, the effort that was put into the race definitely showed. It was outstanding. PS - if anyone else stayed at the Ramada... did your room feel like a swamp also? I know it was very humid outside, but man... our room never felt dry

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Keith and the Endurofun folks did a fantastic job with the inaugural run of this event: great course, good support, quality schwag (very nice long-sleeved tech shirt, finisher's race towel and water bottle, sponsor logo towel, sponsor nutrition samples), preliminary results posted on the net the SAME DAY. Committed volunteers stayed out there through the rain. The only criticism is that the run course was so twisting and turning that it was not always 100% clear which way to go, even with many volunteers stationed around directing. The crazy rain did not help with that of course. And, I didn't see any mile markers on the run, so I don't know if there were any. (They could have blown/floated away, or I could have missed them in the gale.)

  • Comments: Unfortunately, the heavens opened up and it POURED about 30 minutes after I finished. I felt bad for the poor people who started after me and were still on the course. I was looking forward to the post race activities (especially the free beer) but we ended up hiding in the car.

  • Comments: I was actually quite pleased and pleasantly surprised with my results! In my first tri about six months ago I was 24 of 27 in my AG, and 160 of 220 overall. Today was my second tri, and showed huge improvement! I thought this was a well organized, professionally run race. Unfortunately heavy rain made the post race stuff fairly miserable, but I guess you can't control the weather!
