Race rating (4)

Comments: Overall, I was happy with the race. I was a bit worried about the organization, but they pulled it off. The swim was really good, despite the deflated bouys. Bike course was well protected by local police (thanks, Ramsey County Sheriff and St. Paul Police). Run course was nice. Overall, a very well nice race day. Kudos to whomever was in charge of the weather department! Unfortunately, I won't be participating next year, since I'll be two weeks out from Ironman Wisconsin!
