  • Comments: I can see how this is a very fast course under the right conditions. If you have a low chop surf, and the current on the swim it would be blistering fast. If they reverse the bike to counter-clockwise around the island, that will make the bike blistering fast as well (no headwind on the back, and a tailwind on the front). The run is already fast, if you are not bombed out when you get there. This is a good race, and nice spot to race at. As Doug would say it is better to race at the beach, than to race anywhere else.

  • Comments: WAAAAY to few life guards in the water (i saw 2 on surfboards and 1 boat..) it was a dangerous and chaotic swim for many. What a shame. Otherwise it really was a fun race. The course and the setting is just beautiful and we enjoyed (almost) every minute of it.

  • Comments: What a great learning experience. I have now had "that race" and I can take a lot away from it. Train harder. I can swim for 55 minutes in rough water and come out alive. I can gut out a run when I have severe leg cramps. I think the RD should really take a look back at the swim and add more people in the water. It was dangerous for some and not nearly enough lifeguards in the water. DQ people who don't follow the rules. It is about integrity people!!! I WILL BE BACK NEXT YEAR, PREPARED AND SET A PR!!!

  • Comments: I love this race and that it supports the sea turtle center. Overall, very well run and I had a blast! This was my first tri in 2 years due to an ACL resconstruction I had last summer. I was very happy to finish 2nd overall masters female and 1/18 in the 40-44 age group to qualify for the AG national championships. (Although, to not confuse, I received an award in the masters category.) It was really fun to get to race again!

  • Comments: Took forever to get results because something was not working properly. Other than that, it was a great race. It was not ideal conditions for that race but everyone else had the same conditions.
