  • Comments: I think I made a good choice to make this my first tri - difficult enough to challenge me yet not so large and overwhelming. Most everyone was friendly and welcoming, and it's for a great cause. I wasn't sure doing a tri was for me while I was running, but afterwards I was already looking forward to signing up for another event.

  • Comments: No AG awards at all. Only Overall awards. Kind of s*cks as all the other races acknowledge the AG's.

  • Comments: As this race gets more and more crowded, it's not quite the purely enjoyable race it has been in the past. Maybe I'm just out growing it or it's out growing the venue. Great for 1st timers and a lot of fun for a casual training race.

  • Comments: Nice easy-going atmosphere. But you can't have an unmanned turn though, or if you do, you should just make em all unmanned, rather than every one except one be manned. Anyway, that stuff happens. FSSeries seems to be slow with getting the results posted (meant to be up by 9pm tonight and it is 8:51 and there is nothing: update, at 10:45 they posted that the results will be up Monday at noon). Setup usually posts them the same day and for a small race this should be almost immediate. They had trouble with the Tobacco Rd race too- some AGs were muddled, etc so I think FSSeries has some work to do on that front). I am not a big fan of the pool swim thing but it was fun to try. Don't think I will do another pool swim race for a bit though- prefer a longer lake swim. Still, it is a pretty race with a nice atmosphere. And it's nice to be done in an hour or so, rather than 5+ hrs! haha And I am not at all stiff/sore the next day, which is nice too.

  • Comments: Perfect learning experience. It taught me things I know (need to work on swimming) and 1 thing I didn't....I CAN run better than I thought. I'll get better at both and hopefully can do this race in 2011, faster, with less effort.
