  • Comments: Great Event, great volunteers, very organized. I would definatly reccomend this as a great 1st race: challenging but not crazy, especially for poor swimmers - shallow water boosts confidence.

  • Comments: i love love love this race. the swim is good, the bike and run courses are hard and technical but totally doable with the right training, and it's so beautiful. the only thing i hate are the unpaved roads which can be extremely dangerous. a friend of mine crashed because of this and it almost makes me mad at vineman for allowing those things to be part of a race course, but i know we all do this with our own consent and anything can happen.

  • Comments: It would be easy to be down about having a mechanical on the bike, but I am actually pleased with the way things turned out. Nothing is for sure, and sometimes, these things happen to make us stronger. I will return with some unfinished business!!!! Great race, well organized, great volunteers, perfect weather, bumpy roads (still). :)

  • Comments: I love this race and I'm still happy with a sub 6 hour overall time. But losing about 50 or so places in my age group on the run is not sitting well with me. I'm not a great runner, but I'm not horrible either. A sub 2 hour 13.1 should always be atainable. I'll be back next year God willing.

  • Comments: Good race with lots of volunteers. I was extremely happy that the weather cooperated and remained cool. I can see this race being brutal with the temperature 90+, like they've had in the past couple of years.
