Comments: This was my first ever triathlon and I was ecstatic to just finish. I'm excited to do more and improve on my performance here. Also I was the only one in my age group so I won a beer mug, which was an awesome reward for finishing my first triathlon (besides the immense feeling of accomplishment of course!).

Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

Comments: As I said above, this was my first race in over a year since I was hit by a truck riding my bike. This was the morning after the one year anniversary of the accident and if you told me one year ago I would be doing a triathlon I would have said you were nuts since they were not sure I would walk again. The race was well run. There were tons of volunteers which was very good. The shirts they give for the race are nice. There was not much to eat after the race. No finisher medal was a disappointment. (Not that I race for the hardware but something for my first race back would have been a good sentimental keepsake.)

Comments: Little disappointed in the post race food/spread. Had plenty of fluids but only some lame pizza for eats. Course was good, I would prefer less trails/grass and more hard surface for a race.

Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: This was a nice race, even though the swim course was a little nasty and shallow and the bike course had a gravel hazard. There were volunteers everywhere. Tons of them. And the courses were all very well marked with cones and spray paint. And the referees were definitely out there officiating with an iron fist, which is good. I have two criticisms. First, there weren't very many calories available after the race. Second, the gravel on the bike course is a real problem that needs to be fixed before next year. Otherwise they did a stellar job and I would do the race again.
