  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: More drink stations, please. Also, one group of volunteers just didn't have it in 'em to cheer...I guess it was 95 freaking degrees out. My poor husband seemed sun sick just from cheering. It is not the fault of the race that it was hot, however - more drink stations would ensure that the athletes would not die of heat stroke. Oh, and salt tabs - those would be lovely on the course.

  • Comments: I've done several Max Performance races, and they're always well run. It certainly wasn't their fault that I had a terrible day!

  • Comments: Overall, a good race with some fast athletes. I know that the Olympic distance is more balanced, and with a piss poor swim, I'm better suited to sprint tris and half ironmans.

  • Comments: Great race for my first oly. Second water station ran out of water towrds the end, but other than that, a really well run race, with great food after.

  • Comments: The post race food was okay. More the non red meat eaters it would have been better if there were more veggie burgers and chicken that was not fired. Water would have been better than soda.

  • Comments: Pre-race pasta meal was a bust - food gone at 6PM and waited 40 minutes for bad pizza to arrive. No hammer gel's were left on the run - presumably all given to Sprint Racers and those ahead of me. I know, picky but...those two things were big pushes by the race director. Otherwise, plenty of volunteers on the course and all were friendly. Seemed like the Olympic was second fiddle to the Sprint which seems odd.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: The start seemed a little chaotic and then I felt like the support on the run was lacking-there were lots of water stations but the volunteers were all staying on one side of the road so if you didn't cross the road and get the fluids you had to wait until you came back by.

  • Comments: The race was very organized with the exception of the Sprinters run and the Olympians Bike. It was the same course for a few miles and the runners were scattered all over the road - forcing the Olympic distance bikers to weave in and out of them. Other than that - the race was very organized and I could not have asked for more. The run was ey - the roads were poor and the winding through the neighborhoods felt eternal. Overall though this was a great race for a first time triathlete!
