  • Comments: This was my first Olympic and it was a good race choice. TriRock did a good job with it. Swim was fast with the current and huge buoys were set up every 100m. Very, very helpful. The bike course was hilly for sure but it was almost all shaded. Run was all flat and in sun for whole second half but plenty of water stations made it easy to keep cool. Good race with nice course, but the $185 price tag (when I signed up, it was higher later) somewhat makes me not want to do it next year.

  • Comments: Nothing to compare it to but I thought it was run great. A couple little nits but nothing worth mentioning. Very pleased with my first tri. I wanted to be sub-3 hours and finished 2:51. Without the T1 and T2 issues I could have easily been 5 or 6 minutes faster so I am pleased.

  • Comments: I liked the race but a) it's expensive and b) the finishers medal could have been nicer. It was smaller and cheaper looking then the last two years and since the price went up, I expected better
