  • Comments: I really enjoy the Okoboji Triathlon. It is well organized. Well supported. And it's usually very competitive for those that want to race fast but it is also a race that people can test out the open water swim for the first race. They allow wet suits regardless of water temps and I appreciated that this year. I signed up late this year and the guys at Three Sons are always easy to work with. I will continue to keep this race on my schedule and consistently suggest it to my tri crazy friends. If you are ever in the area around the end of July, give this one a try.

  • Comments: I gave Okoboji a 5 because the finish is one of the best in the area. I love the crowd and the announcer. I would like to see age groups every 5 years (then I would have won my age group :-)...... There are some challenging parts of the bike with traffic and the congestion of runners and bikers is difficult. Still love the race and we stayed for two more days to enjoy Boji!!!

  • Comments: this is a well run event. the only problem I have with this event is the swim start. We should not start on the beach and run into the water. Tons of rocks to deal with and people can get pretty hurt. We should start about 50 yards off the shoreline and this would be perfect. Not sure why the organizers did the start this way this year. Last year we started from a swimming position.

  • Comments: very disappointed not to get a swim and t1 time. the 25 slowest swimmer and a couple other did not get swim times. it sucks to pay $65 for this and not get my times. this is not the first time that allsportcentral has not got my complete times this year. also, not enough volunteers on the bike course and not well/clearly marked in some parts. there were times that the course was marked for runner to take a different direction than cylclist and other times it was marked for "runner" and cyclists were also expected to go that way. consequently, i don't right at top speed as i'm trying to figure out which way to go. positives: lots of water/gatorade stations and lots of liquids and bananas at the end. announced our names as we finished. great crowd support throughout. i'll do it again next year!!
