  • Comments: The race overall was fun and I would definately do it again. I don't really blame them for my entry situation but they should have had some type of sports drink before during and after (or at least make it easier to find if it was there.) They do a time trial on this course and I would definately like to go and hammer and see how faster I can ride for 12.5 miles.

  • Comments: Since this is my first, I gave it a four. While I would have given it a five, I heard people talking about the swim currents being too strong and there being too many waves. Also, some people might like hills and there weren't any hills.

  • Comments: Fun, flat and fast... I like all these things. Overall, need to get swim faster, and maybe shave a little more off of the run. Next year it would be cool to be running in the 7's.

  • Comments: Could have had more kayaks and such in the lake. A lot of the kayaks and assistance had to drift over to help the first wave at the end of the course and that left us over-40s in the beginning of the course--some folks were really struggling and a couple were in trouble. Though when asked we always said--"we're fine!" Such liars we were! I don't have too many to compare to, but everyone is very nice and it's a fun event.

  • Comments: Perfect first race, for me at least. The swim was tough. Presque Isle is one of my favorite places, period. I'm glad I did my first tri there, even if it was typical dreary Erie weather.

  • Comments: I really liked this race. The volunteers were great and the atmosphere was very supportive. I had hoped to place, and based off of last years times, I could have. I even had a faster race then I had planned to. Unfortunatly, once again, it seemed my AG was very compettive. So I'm unhappy I didn't place, but VERY happy my bike and run improved so much. ps...just got my splits. This was an insanely competitive field. I got 8th out of 12 in my AG and I ran a pretty good race. Again, still bummed I didn't place, but man, I could not have done that race much different.

  • Comments: There were some timming chip errors. A friend of mine did not have his time posted. like he never raced. They didn't have enough for everyone and so they took the no shows and re assigned them. When the race winner was announced, it was someone that didn't even race. Big oops! There difinately should have been more lifegaurds in the water. Things got off 15 minutes late??? Other then that, It was a nice event. Good awards and prizes at the end. Everyone was nice and. At first I was dissapointed with how poor I did at the swim. My bike was solid, my run was solid, but the swim sucked. Then I started to feel good about it. I didn't give up today. I know my weakest spot and what I need to focus on for next year. I know my strong part was when I was beaten down so hard by the swim but yet I was able to snap back mentally and physically for the rest of the race. I learned a lot in that swim today. I will remember this race for a long time and will love telling the story of
