  • 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.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • 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 had fun. Was nervous but did fine. Was surprised to place in my first event. Will be interesting to see how many are in my age group. Still need to work on the run!
