  • Comments: I think Mario must have had a group of volunteers not show up, he was distracted and we probably could have used a few more volunteers. Will do it again next year ! hopefully 20 lbs lighter...

  • Comments: I really enjoyed the race overall. No complaints at all, and I'll definitely do it again next year! ETA: A week later the race results show me as in 4th in my AG instead of 5th. Guess someone ahead of me got DQ'd (maybe the guy with the 4:30 min/mile splits!) and the 3rd place guy only beat me by 45 seconds or so. So now looking back at my lack of motivation to go harder, i'm a bit pissed off because I could have beat him and got on the podium. He was dying on the run too. Live and learn. I hope to not make that mistake twice!

  • Comments: This is one of the better run races I have been to. I had always heard good things about Mario and this race and finally decided to try it out this year. Glad I did. Bike course is tough, but overall it was a well run race and very enjoyable. Having BBQ afterwards is a big plus in my book!

  • Comments: bbq dinner after. not very hungry anyways but brisket is never appealing to me after a workout. Would have been very good for race officials to scrub the steps for the water entry. several people slipped and it was hard to get in before the start of the wave. Hoping for under 2:30 and made it. Race had many more experienced participants than past tris that were full of beginners. ## of 138 women.

  • Comments: I will race next year and bring home some hardware of some sort. Happy with being top 15, but I know I am a better triathlete than what I showed at the race.

  • Comments: Very well run race, the bike course was challenging but very scenic and kept you on your toes with gear changes. Only complaint is coming into transition from the bike course merged with traffic and the volunteers/cops did a sub-par job keeping cars from being close to cyclists. I had to slam on my brakes and stop before turning into transition because of cars here. I will be returning to this race at some point so I can really enjoy the course more than this round...

  • Comments: IF this is a USAT event, they should enforce USAT rules. Such as a time penalty when you run off with someone else's bike. Race report here: http://anetmarie.livejournal.com/33939.html#cutid1

  • Comments: Well, I came in 10 minutes faster than I did last year and 4 minutes ahead of my projected time (thanks to a very good swim) so I can't complain. All in all I'm happy with the race even thought I didn't place in my age group. This tri usually brings in some real good competition so I can't be too sad about not placing when I beat my projected times.

  • Comments: Well, today is my 40th birthday! And I have never felt better. This was my longest tri event...I had my doubts on the swim, but when I finished the swim feeling the way I did today, it just makes the rest of the race feel so much better. I am just so happy that I stuck with it and decided to give this event a shot. It was so worth it and it is one that I want to do again. Shout out to all the volunteers---they are so positive and can really put a smile on your face! Whoo HOOOO!
