  • Comments: As you can tell I'm a bit disappointed. A very well run event and nice course but definitely a challenge. First race with wetsuit and new TT bike. I really concentrated on wetsuit and getting used to the bike. Learned a great deal about the importance of pacing and recovery. I'll never chase elite women again....tri chicks can really put a hurtin' on you!!!

  • Comments: Overall the race was very well run, especially considering this is the first year for it.. great volunteers, convenient parking, good aid stations, and- most importantly- plenty of bathrooms! Nice people and a quality event. I feel reasonably happy with the effort on this B-race, but again, not a huge confidence-builder for IMLP.

  • Comments: Loved this race. CGI was great. I predict this will sell out next year when the word gets out. Wish they had a little more for the kids to do while moms and dads are racing. A moon bounce would have gone a long way! Lastly, a special thanks to everyone at BT who contributes content to this site. Four months ago I couldn't run 3 miles without walking and whining about shin splints. I also couldn't swim more than four laps in a pool without an oxygen tank. So much of your input helped me prepare for this race and make it a huge success in my mind. And the sense of community both on this board and at the races only makes me more drawn to this incredible sport. Cheers to you all and good racing.
