  • Comments: New race directors this year, and the race was off/on late into the spring, which probably impacted participation. They did a good job though, but ran out of swim caps? Really? I will continue to do the race as long as it's around.

  • Comments: This is a really well run race. I will probably always do it since it's so close. Extremely well organized and for $50, a bargain.

  • Comments: My local race. Trudy Wakeman does a phenomenal job putting on this race. Always organized with plenty of volunteers. It's a good race since it is just a bit longer than a regular sprint.

  • Comments: This is a great little local race. They manage the 2 different transition areas like pros. Everythign is extraordinarily well-organized. I was very impressed and plan on returning. On a personal level, I'm a little demoralized. Given how hard I've been working I was hoping to see myself finish a bit higher up. I guess that other than the Racine HIM, this is the only race that I've done that is even a little longer than a really short sprint (pool, 10-11 mile, 5K), so top 3rd (barely) in my AG group isn't bad, I was just expecting a little more out of myself.

  • Comments: The only disappointment I had was with the chip timing. Thankfully I had timed my race on my polar because they had me in the computer going off in the 2nd wave (all women)and not the 6th wave. Once they corrected my wave then they placed me as a 37 year old which would be great but I'm 54. I'm really happy with the overall time as it was over 12 minutes faster then last year which happened to be my first out door tri slso. I have another race in two weeks (big foot) and I'm excited about racing it. My competition is within my self and I feel that this was a good race for me overall.

  • Comments: Would have gotten a 5 if it weren't for the misinformed cop waving people in the worn direction, all the other volunteers were awesome! For the money this one can't be beat, it was tons of fun and close to home.

  • Comments: The race started 15 minutes late because of the rain, but would have been right on time. The organizers were great and the volunteers really did everything they could to cheer you on. It was a lot of fun, even with the rain, and I will definitely do it again next year.

  • Comments: Race materials showed up via snail-mail after the race. Had to laugh at this since as newbie this would have answered allot of questions. Envelope had 2 mailing labels on it so someone else may not have gotten the info too. Start was delayed 15 minutes due to rain/weather, but wasn't an issue.
