  • Comments: I was a little annoyed about the whole registration mixup. Which also caused me to not get my award (which would have been my first tri award).But I was being a pain in the ass by not registering on time and they were accomodating on race day, so I can't complain too much. Other than that, the race was well run, which helped my first pool swim go smoothly. A good early season race that I'm looking forward to doing again next year.

  • Comments: Was impressed by the race as I know they had issues last year (their 1st). The bike course was very well marked and had great volunteers to make sure you were on the right track. They should probably do a better job of keeping the transition area clean. Since it was an indoor swim there were people coming in off the bike for quite awhile after others finished and it was pretty cluttered at times for the folks trying to get out on their run.

  • Comments: Overall, I was very happy to get through our first effort safely and under our 2 hour goal. We will both be individually competing at our next race in July, and it was great to do a practice run and find out what we need to work on. I was mostly thrilled that I still felt good at the end of my bike - I didn't gasp across the line, and I felt like I still had plenty of reserves left so than I can do the run next time.
