Race Reports for Southern Branch YMCA sprint triathlon

[1]

Race rating (3)

Comments: Definitely a local, have fun race. Don't do it if you want to have a serious race. Very laid back and friendly. Started late so people could register. Didn't know my swim wave start time until the morning of which wasn't good. Not enough bike racks so I had to prop mine against a lamp post, but I shouldn't complain b/c it was right next to the transition exit. Bike course was very good. It's a technical ride with the hills and turns. Probably lot more fun when dry. Run through park would have been nice, but instead I missed the turnoff and got rewarded with a nice hill to climb. Excellent for spectators as they could be right next to the pool, go into transition area, and have things to do in between. I'd recommend it just to have fun.

Comments: OK, so I only have one other race to compare it to, but the other race was more organized. I felt bad in that there were nearly double the participants of the previous year and the coordinator was not prepared for that. I liked the indoor swim, but the bike course coincided with the run course and there were some bike/runner collisions (not good). Not sure if I'll participate again next year or not. The biggest bonus was that I finished in under 80 minutes which was my goal for the race.
