  • Comments: Since this is my first I am giving this an above average rating. I don't know if there are normally more water stations, but they could have used more people handing out the water. They ran out of water in the transition area before the race. I had fun overall. It would be nice to be listed in the overall times even if you are signed up as a clydesdale so you can see how you rate out.

  • Comments: Great race, they did a nice job and it's a nice venue. It's my first, so this is all with zero comparison.

  • Comments: Good race course. The reverse order and late afternoon start were also a nice change. Can't do much about the swim, maybe have even more waves next time. Just two complaints: the girls at the aid stations were way too slow and there were no porta potties. 134 women racers and guests had to share 2 toilets at the nearby tennis courts. Check out that funky bobble-head running girl trophy we got!

  • Comments: This race took a dive this year. We have always been able to use the community center bathrooms and locker rooms, AND they supplied 4 port a pottys out side. This year we were banned from the Center, and only had acess to the tennis court bathrooms. 2 stalls. Yeah.... Also, the 2 water stations on the run in 109 temps was not enough, and especially when the second one was manned by 3 clueless high school girls. And eventhough I have to believe the wave starts helped the mass conjestion in the pool, it was still conjested and I was STILL stuck with all the sucky guys who were walking, and hopping, and frog stroking, etc.. I was so done with it I just swam over them this year. Going to send the RD a note about this because the fastest guys start first and have no idiots to try to swim around in the pool. With the women starting last, we have all the sucky guys to swim around. It's not fair. They have got to come up with a better system. But even with all the issues the reverse
