  • Comments: This was a good first race because it was small and well organized. The people were friendly and I didn't feel a lot of pressure or feel like I was being judged. There were definitely people of all abilities there. The course was harder than I expected.

  • Comments: I finished at about 90 minutes... there were 40-50 people more after me, in a field of 190, and they had completely run out of drinks at the finish line before I even got there. That's not cool. No drinks on the course, no drinks at the finish line, only goody in the packet was a t shirt... altered run route on race day that didn't match the map in the packet (that was handed out an hour before race time)... pretty much zero frills. I don't think water at the finish line is a lot to ask for. Started late, maybe 20 minutes, and the swim waves were way too big for the short course. The women especially had a lot of problems.

  • Comments: This was my first Sprint Triathlon, and this event caters very well to beginners. While there are quite a few serious triathletes there are a much larger number of first timers. Organisers made the even very comfortable for beginners and lots of spectators along the routes yelling encouragement. I would definately put this even in my yearly schedule. LOTS OF FUN!
