  • Comments: It is a nice local race. There were about 170 or so racers, with a few elites that made the field seem tougher, but not enough that your average joe and jane can't without some training feel accomplished. The race directors and organizers seemed to have a lot of fun with it, though unfortunately the USAT officials had to disqualify a few people on a technicality. Make sure that even if you are not actually RIDING your bike, but are just straddling it, you still have your helmet on and fastened.

  • Comments: Aside from the run I thought it was good! I do think they need to do something about the swim because people were cutting corners and not going around the outer most bouy.

  • Comments: I didn't take this race too seroiusly, I wanted to assess my fitness level for my 'A' race in September.. I think I know now. Tought course, but I'm very glad I did it. liked the small size in a way, but larger group would have probably helped me not be so close to last.

  • Comments: the post race party was at the Biltmore Grill in Charlottesville. Free blue moon pitchers!!! woo hoo!! that was nice. There weren't alot of people there, though. It isn't near the event sight, and being a sunday alot of people just want to get home. while i thoroughly enjoyed my beer, i think it would be much nicer to skip the beer cost and get medals. this is the only race i have been to where there were none.

  • Comments: This is a small local race with very few frills. They had just enough volunteers but they did their job and the race went fine. The swag was limited but they did have a bottle exchange on the ride. First time I've seen that on an Oly course. The course was hard and I hadn't trained correctly for the bike or run. As this is one of the few Olys close to my house in July, I might do this race again. An OK race but nothing special

  • Comments: Nice local race, with some stiff competition. The post race food was bagels and water. Wished they had a bit more variety. It was just too hot to enjoy the post race activities. Beautiful course!

  • Comments: This was a relatively small race. There wasn't any music at the transition before the race. The post-race food was sufficient but nothing impressive...water, begals, oranges, and bananas. I wish they wouldn't have used little kids at the bottle exchange...I might have had a better chance of getting water on the ride. I also wish the cups on the run course were larger...I was grabbing 2-3 at a time. This was a relatively inexpensive race ($55) so I guess they did fine. It was the first time they've held an Oly distance race but they do have a sprint and Xterra race also.
