  • Comments: This was a great race! It was a fun way to start the season. It is extremely well organized and well run. One small glitch was the super long lines for body marking in the morning. I avoided this by getting someone to mark me with a marker that I keep in my bag. Also, the bike course has so many tight turns that it limits your speed a bit. But overall, I loved it and look forward to doing it again.

  • Comments: I knew finishing 2nd in my wave guaranteed I was going to win something, since waves were divided by AG's. I was really excited, since this was going to be my first award of any kind. Some of the younger folks in the next wave ended up smoking the field, plus I found out the guy ahead in my wave was the same AG. Not sure what happened, but they handed out ONE penalty for the entire race, and it was the guy who beat me, so I got 1st in AG! Sweet.

  • Comments: Excellent first time event! Lot's of encouragement from volunteers as well as other participants. Good experience to see how well my training transferred to the race day itself. Although it was drizzley throughout the entire event - - it was actually comfortable during the race.

  • Comments: Seeing as how it's my first, take it with a grain of salt. It seemed fine, but then again, I didn't really show up for any of the activities surrounding the race, including the awards ceremony.

  • Comments: The race was well run, fairly organized and started basically on time. It is a very short event designed around the true beginner and was very racer and spectator friendly. So big props for that! I just didn't have the race that I wanted and feel that I threw away the win with a mediocre bike and swim. The race was mine for the taking and I didn't put up. With that said, I really did lose it in the swim. And not to be a stickler but the top runner ran a 6:58 for the run .... which includes their transition???? Ummmm yeah, something is a little odd with that. But it could easily be the timing of where they took the splits. Their overall times for 1st and 2nd seem feasible, just not so much the run split. I know for sure I came into the transition right around 7:45 and there was no one even close from my wave. Ah well, well run race just not what I was hoping for. I would definitely recommend the race organization and the event for newer athletes.

  • Comments: I didn't really feel the need to hydrate too much, actually, so there were just enough drink stations for me. Maybe that's why it took 40 mins.

  • Comments: the tr-it-now races are always fun and they are easy to get to with plenty of parking. my only issues would be that they never start on time and with no chip timing it takes forever to get the results. i would recommend it for anyone looking to try ou tthe sport or just have a fun day though.

  • Comments: For a short race to get out the cobwebbs, it was good. It took us longer to get to the race than it did to actually race. It was fun though and our first time racing doing the reverse tri. I'm disappointed for missing 3rd in my AG by :21, but I am happy with 4th. And I'm super excited about having the 6th fastest swim overall.

  • Comments: Since this was my first tri, I have nothing to compare it to... I had fun and I can't wait to do this same course only in the correct order in June.
