  • Comments: Awesome race. Very well organized, Personally, I felt very strong during it and I was ranked in the top 23% for the first time (I always ranked in the 75th percentil, middle to back of the pack). I attribute this result to a better training plan, experienced gained in previous races, and a better nutrition plan.

  • Comments: Could have used a water station on the bike since I dropped mine, but not common at the shorter sistances. Had a great time and proud of my daughter for completing her first tri! She is planning to start her Oly training plan today, pumped to do it again!

  • Comments: Like last year, I did this race with 2 of my brothers - Mark and Peter. They each had interesting things happen to them. Mark's bike's brakes went on him and he went from having no brakes at one point to them rubbing the wheel for the last few miles! Peter is a crack up. He is such a naturally gifted athlete he can get away with a lot of things like not having been on a bike since August and only being in the water once since August. Plus, the bike he used is my road bike which is way too small for him so he gets off it with a sore hip and shoulder which makes running a real blast. Also, he couldn't find his goggles, so he had to use old ones that you could not see through, so every so often while swimming he had to stop, move the goggles to see where he was, replace them and swim on. Towards the end he got a leak with this little move, so he ended up swimming with one eye closed. Even with being completely unprepared for the race and using bad (and injurious equipment)he posts

  • Comments: I was so happy my first Triathlon was the Nautica South Beach Triathlon. The event was top notch, with all the sponsors, celebrities and racing side by side with the pros. I will definitely come back next year.

  • Comments: I got #1 in the swim in my age group which is a great accomplishment on my side, but it seems that the race went down hill from there. Many points of perspective to consider/reconsider like my bike performance (in general), recovery from training and racing, and "need" to make the podium with each race. I need to dig a little deeper for the next level of "lessons learned" and apply them to the next seven and 13 weeks of training (because I WILL qualify for Boston 2013).

  • Comments: I say yes for plenty of drink stations...there were for the run; however, I thought there were supposed to be some during the bike. Not an issue, less than one bottle of water was used during the bike leg. This is a very well organized race, no confusion, excellent course (bike was fast and fun), I'd recommend this to anyone. Unfortunately, I don't have much opportunity to practice open ocean swimming otherwise I think I'd love that portion as well.

  • Comments: Very well organized for a huge race. The event start was fun with the lead singer from the band Survivor singing the national anthem and then their signature song, "Eye of the Tiger". The expo the day before was fun. My only suggestion would be to uncrowd the finish area some by stretching it out and having officials move the finishers along more and I would have a large tent in the middle solely to provide shade for the athletes to watch the awards, etc.
