  • Comments: Odd swim start with long National Anthem for Wave 1, we were still entering the water at the start... The later waves was probably better. Fun run course through the park with on and off trail.

  • Comments: Good first tri. A bit wary of changes to course day before the race and poor marking of the course the day before the race when I wanted to reconnoiter. After finishing, I was a bit confused about where to go or what to do. Would be very good race if I'd lived in the area and had been able to participate in swims and rides in the weeks leading up to the race and had known a bit more what to expect, or if I'd had a friend along who had done this race before. Always good to see United Athletes and support for them.

  • Comments: This is my favorite race. Love the river swim, bike out into Powhatan, and trail run. The BBQ from the Tavern Restaurant is very good.

  • Comments: Plenty of volunteers this time - and most seemed to be very good. The post-race food was nasty, though - I remember it being much better in years past. Soggy paper plates with coleslaw and pulled pork (not on buns) seems like stupid post-race food. Plus there were multiple bones in my pork which really turned me off. That, and I'd much rather have diet Coke than coconut water.

  • Comments: This was my first tri. I really love it from that standpoint. My only complaints are that it started a little late and that the traffic on the bike course was a bit much. Other than that, excellent race.
