  • Comments: I would consider this one again, if it weren't for the trail running. Still might anyway. Seems like my age bracket was very tough - I thought I would have placed higher than I did with that time. Still enjoyed it and am glad to get #2 of the season out of the way.

  • Comments: The course should have been just right to a bit to easy for my ability but felt like it was to hard. Was tired but not sore after the race. Eyes and nose felt a bit itchy and I had a cough. Was tired on Sunday and my throat was sore. Felt better this morning, Monday, but went to the doctor's any way. Doctor said I don't have anything, that I was feeling the effects of exerting myself to soon after being sick.

  • Comments: I would do this race again next year. Remember the Transition area is 350 yards from the beach. If you rack at the far end it's closer to 400 yards to the beach. the T area is closed 10min before the first wave start. make sure you're ready to race when you go off to the breifing.

  • Comments: This had to have been a tough event to be the RD. With all the rain the course was a muddy mess, the transition area was wet and most of the rest of the park was submerged in about 3 inches of water (I am not kidding). The run was changed and matched up with the bike route which meant the lanes were single file and very narrow. Its lucky that there were no serious crashes. But they did the best they could given the miserable weather the last few weeks. I did appreciate the free ice bath at the end of the race (i jumped back in the water. HA HA) my total time was almost exactly the same as last year. I was slower in the water and on the bike though. I attribute that to the cold water, the wet corners and the funky narrow no pass zones. with the top finishers being about 4 minutes slower that last year I think I did pretty well. Even though I was slow in the water and slower than hoping for on the bike I think did pretty well. I am really excited about at nearly

  • Comments: A good race to kick off the season. Well organized and well supported. A little on the pricy side for a sprint, but it's for a good cause. I'd do this race again.

  • Comments: Fun race---lots of food afterward--bbq, cookies, choc milk...although I was busy with the kids and didn't really eat. Still, it's nice to know it was there! I had a great time seeing friends, racing as a LUNA Chix team for the first time, and watching my son create a positive memory and increase his self esteem. The weather was absolutely perfect. There were 3 eagles catching fish at the swim start. Fun fun race!
