  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was a great first race for me! I rated the course as "just right" because if my butt would have been in better shape for the bike, it would have gone better. After I got out of the shower this morning, and wiped the fog off the mirror - I looked at myself and thought "I am a triathlete!!!!"

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: I had prepared myself for the worst because I had heard bad things about last year's race. But it turned out very well organized and fair. Medals a little chintzy, but it is a fund raiser and not every tri gives medals in the first place. A good season opening event, although I'm glad I raced my all. Otherwise it would be too short.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. It was a little disorganized which I think is why we got started SO late (I didn't start until almost noon when my given time was 9.45). Also, no real need to be there at 6 AM when I preregistered since there was access to the transition area the entire time. It was a good first race though because the course was short and not too physically challenging so it allowed me to learn about racing and see where I stand with the technical aspect of each event.

  • Comments: Great race and course! I think that the venue was a little small for the number of people though and the wait was too long! I would rather they move it back to Tempe Town lake and have group waves rather then sit around and wait for 4 hours to start. Other then that though it was well organized and the volunteers were wonderful.

  • Comments: First time for this race. Based on the temp, the race should have started an hour earlier. Only one aid station on the run. Not enough when the temp is almost 100.

  • Comments: This was an inaugural race for Susan G Komen. I suspect with the name this event will get bigger, then as a result, will get better.

  • Comments: This was a fun race and for a great cause. I wish had been cooler or started a bit earlier- the 8am start meant it was hot for the run. A big thanks to the BTers who cheered us on in the heat- Tanya, Chris, Robin, Harry & Robot- you guys are awesome. And thanks for taking pictures! Also saw Ironman Andy out there with his cute dogs :) I didn't hang out long at the end as I wanted to get home and take a shower. This will be my last tri until fall and it was a good one :)

  • Comments: To their credit, this was the first year for this event. But this race was HORRIBLE! There was one aid station in the middle of the run. There should have been at least one near the transition.
