Comments: Great vibe, and a wonderfully welcoming first race. I have so many people to thank for their contribution to my completion of this race that I don't even know where to start. My wonderful husband Mike and my darling children have been my number one cheering section, and more importantly, have put up with missing Mommy while I trained. The work of basically taking the kids on vacation by himself so that I could be with my friends and focus on the race was tough stuff, and Mike pulled it off like the awesome Dad he is. My parents are far in distance but close in my heart, and their pride means more to me now that I am a parent myself than ever before. I adore my official photographer and #1 fans. I can't thank Allison or Mary Sue enough for making the tough call to be without their children on Mother's Day in order to race my first Tri with me. Allison started this whole crazy triathlon thing two years ago, and I am amazed and proud that this, her third race, she beat the rest

Comments: I thought this was a disorganized race. First jusat about the only emails about the race were ones trying to get you to buy Sally Edwards' stuff. Less than 1 week in they did send an email about packet pickup and mandatory day before bike racking, but I'm used to marathons and those race directors send out regular updates and aren't you excited emails. In this race director's defense, the webiste was good. Then at packet pickup, I stayed around for the race day overview talk b/c Janice and Carolyn wanted some insight-it was pretty useless as far as tips go; I gave J & C better tips and I had only 1 tri to my name. The race packets did not include any written material, so unless you were around when the announced when your wave was set to go off you would be clueless. All instructions regarding parking, timing chips etc were on the website, but no hard copies (or if there were hard copies they hid them at pick up). As mentioned above, the swim start was disorganized and started late
