  • Comments: Great organizers and lots of volunteers. The swim course is nice but the bike course is very hilly with lots of turns, and a bit monotonous with the dual loops of mentioned hills and turns. If I would have known the temperature and affects on me I would have passed on this one. Again, not because of the location or organizers, just how cold the weather was. Numbing. It was good in that it made me re-think the olympic I was going to do in March.

  • Comments: This is a very well-run race that attracts a lot of fasties. Rolling course on both bike and run and fairly long distances for a sprint. Five deep for AG awards was nice...especially given that the awards were glasses, rather than typical medals.

  • Comments: My 1st Triathlon. The event itself was good. Officials and volunteers were great. Organization was great. The description of the course was not as accurate as myself and numerous other racers I spoke with agreed that it could have been. Location was great. I will definitely do this event again. Hopefully I'll be better prepared both physically and mentally. Illness and Injury really played a large part in how difficult this race was for me being my 1st triathlon.

  • Comments: Fun race, in its third year. Well organized. Pumpkin pie at finish was a nice touch. Some off brand energy drink I didn't recognize--and didn't like--on the run course. Couple parking lot entrances in the park weren't marshaled and needed to be...one near accident with a cyclist that I saw. But this is run by a pretty experienced race production company and they did well by it.

  • Comments: The weather was great, it was organized well and I had a good time. I had a good swim, but it ended there. My decreased bike training really showed, I definitely need a trainer. My run has always bad, so no surprises. I will probably do this race again next year.

  • Comments: The only negative is that there was some early confusion amongst the volunteers, but I was there real early and they were still getting set up (in the dark), so I'll give everyone a lot of slack on that. By sunrise, things looked to be running smooth and there were a lot of nice volunteers everywhere.

  • Comments: They screwed up with the timing so results took a while to show up. I think there is still an error with the swim segment as somebody has a ridiculously fast time and I verified that I was first out of the water in my heat.

  • Comments: Although I liked Bonelli Park and could see racing there again, I think it will be for Danskin or the Tri Express in the summer. I really think that late November is just too cold for an OW swim. The bike course is a nice challenge. I think that with a little more hill and strength training, I could master it. The run would actually be a fun course, if I was not injured. I'd like to give it a try on a better day. As far as the organization of the race, I really don't think it was well done. I know that this is an inaugural event, but it was put on by a company that does other races. I felt that there was very little information given to us ahead of time, compared to other races I've done. I would have liked to have had a packet pick up, expo and course talk on Saturday. The morning packet pick up was late and disorganized. Also, there was never a course talk. No one told us where to swim until the 11th hour. No one warned us about the tricky parts of the course. I plan to return to Bonelli
