  • 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.
