  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Post race activities were probably OK for anyone who was done in under 3 hours but mostly packed (including awards for those of us in slower divisions) up by the time this slow, old woman was done. Still a really nice venue and a good race, except the swim entry area is very scary!!! It was better when we entered off the pier for a deep water start. Survived my first Oly!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: If I hadn't of felt so awful afterwards, I would say I enjoyed this race. I actually did enjoy it until the run! It was a great swim and an enjoyable ride - pretty, scenic and not too hot. I just wish I could run! Everyone that I was ahead of on the swim and/or bike passed me on the run. That sucked!!

  • Comments: Overall a very good race. 17 seconds slower than my fastest time for this "race". It should be much faster considering the run course change removing the causeway bridge. The additional swim buoys were greatly appreciated although they could use 2 more along the south bound leg of the coat hanger. Next year I'll be back and faster than ever!!!

  • Comments: The redesigned course for the run took the character out of the race. Swim had to be short. I like this bike course, some year we'll get a nice calm day to do it!

  • Comments: Good race. I was impressed with the amount of county Sheriff's out on the bike course helping us get some room to work with. Good pre/post race music too. Nothing too much else to say because my father works for Health First and I refuse to bad mouth the company or any races they sponsor! :)

  • Comments: I give it an average this year based on the lack of sight buoy's on the swim, they really nee dto fix that, I and other had issues with it last year too. The bike and run portions are top notch though.

  • Comments: Once again the volunteers helped make this race awesome. The only thing that could have been done better is more buoys on the swim course. I'll be back next year though. :)

  • Comments: Great race overall despite the windy/rainy condition. Dante and I were both frustrated with the swim set up – esp Dante apparently he and about 20 other swimmers swam way off course. Poor Dante almost ran into a photographer on his bike going down hill at about 35 miles/hour so we were both just happy that we survived the race. I finished 3rd overall for female and Dante got 1st in Clydesdale div.

  • Comments: The race is a "Must TRI" race. It's challenging, nicely marked and there were a TON of volunteers at just about EVERY corner of the bike and run. I've never seen that before at a race so it was fantastic to see during this race. Everyone was friendly and helpful. Water stations were awesome. I recommend everyone mark this race on your calendar for next year!
