  • Comments: After reading the race reports from last year, I think this year was probably a marked improvement. It was my first race, but I think it felt very well organized and there were plenty of aid stations on the run. Hurray!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Didn't make it over to the post-race party--wish there had been food at the finish. Having the party and the finish in separate spots made for a rather sad finish area. Ice tubs and water towels were great, tho. No finish medals, either, but I MUCH prefer the snazzy (and useful!) back-pack we got in the registration packet to a medal that will only gather dust. Would have been nice if there'd been a course talk, although the race was well-enough organized and routes clearly marked that it wasn't a big problem. Overall, I had a great time, even if I didn't do so well. Gotta remember that mixed races will always pull a different crowd than the women-only events, and that it's not likely that I'll beat a male half my age. :)

  • Comments: It was fun but not a mindblowing race. I was in the last wave so that meant I was close to last to finish so I felt like I was just by myself on the course the whole time. I can't wait for the Bang's Lake women's sprint- I really enjoy biking on terrain that necessitates changing gears and provides more of a mental challenge.

  • Comments: Ram racing continues to put on great races. Not their decision to set the swim in too shallow water. Did not feel crowded at all. Transition was well put together. Bike chute not that great as you had to go all the way past transition and then in. A little long. Great after race food and band.
