  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: This was a fun race. I'd do it again. Great to see all the college kids out there. We had two reality stars entered in the race, Survivor winner Parvati Shallow (she was in my age group and placed 5th) and some guy from the Amazing Race. It was fun to get out there early in the season. The Age Groupers are outnumbered by the college racers but it's a great race if you want a better chance of hitting the podium. Loved the awards ceremony, loved the stunts. Throw your friend in the bay win a water bottle, do the most push ups win a wetsuit. Very fun! I would consider coming back for next year.

  • Comments: Im hooked, I just signed up for my next one on March 8th a day after my 35th birthday. I guess that means I move to a diffrent age group. Still traumitized about the wet suit at this point I think I would rather brave the cold water than put it on.

  • Comments: For me this was a perfect first race. Everybody was friendly and helpful. The swim portion was in very calm water and the bike and run flat. I am really glad I picked this one and will be back next year. Thanks to all who help put this one on!

  • Comments: This was a fun race, though definitely done by college students. No race chips, somewhat flakey (but nice) volunteers, no sponsor tents for after the race. But it was good! They had a fun and creative raffle for a ton of nice gear gifts that really got the crowd going for a good hour after the race ... "Who has the lowest GPA? Okay, you win a wetsuit!" "First person to swim across the bay, run out and touch that tree over there and get back, you win a wetsuit!" Goofy, but fun. Really a great vibe and I would do it again.

  • Comments: This race is definitively cattered toward college people. Would advise for beginner. Most athletes are very fast on this course. 75% collegiate people with families also racing. Not many new beginner. I would do it in a hearbeat. Awesome race.
