  • Comments: My best race ever! My first of course. But it was really well run, tons of great, helpful volunteers, super racers. What an awesome high! Great to have the family there cheering me on with cowbells. What a blast! And to beat my goal AND podium...think I'll just quit now. Nahhhh, still too much work to do and fun to be had! I know that extra pair of shorts slowed me down.....

  • Comments: Two things keeping this from being a 5: The bike course is rough; it's smooth as silk for all of the flat sections but coming down that hill on rough roads was no fun, I was constantly worried about flatting and there was just no way to push it on the descent unless you wanted to crash out. Also, it's a minor quibble but there should ahve been a warning or countdown or something before the gun goes off, we barely had time to swim to the bouys and I don't think people were ready for it to go that quick (I'd say just under a minute from entering the water--and it was a 50m swim out to the start bouys). That aside, great race. Very organized, tons of volunteers, beautiful course and the beachfront area is perfect for transition. Great event, tons of fun, and while this clearly isn't a priority race for faster triathletes it's a fun time and something I'd love to do again.

  • Comments: The Max team did a great job, as usual. I highly recommend their races. I've never thought of myself as a competitive person (WRT sports). However, my performance on the run really excited me for the next race. I guess that I've now been officially bitten by the Triathlon bug.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: This race ranks third out of the three I've done. There wasn't anything wrong with it in particular, it just lacked something that I can't quite put my finger on. Also, I really wasn't crazy about the short distance (1/3 mile swim, 10 mile bike, 3.1 run). Seemed more like the distance for a mini-sprint. Again, although there's nothing wrong with the race per se, I won't be doing it again.
