  • Comments: For the first year this was a very good race. The organization was impressive and all the volunteers were great. I didn't realize I got 3rd in my age group until later that afternoon. I should have stuck around but I think I was in hurry to get cleaned up. Man, my first hardware race and I wasn't there to enjoy it. Oh well, there's gonna be plenty more opportunities next year :)

  • Comments: This was my 1st Olympic Tri and I definately made my goals. I was hoping for a sub 3 hour performance, with an outside shot at 2:45. From my first ever tri, a sprint, I shaved 1:20min/mile off my run pace, added 2mph on the bike and swam significantly faster. Now I have something to shoot for next year. Maybe 2:30 will be my goal next year.

  • Comments: Overall this may have been the most well organized and staffed race of the 8 that I've done. Was at the very least the equal of Carmel, IN. They had a ton of volunteers who were all very friendly and cheered for everyone. Some of the girls on the run course had been clapping so much that their hands actually turned red. They were very well organized and had some great swag. I spoke the race director after the race and congratulated her on how well the event was put together, and how fantastic their venue was, especially considering that this was their first year. They even had funny stuff at the end like the UNI cheerleaders cheering for people as I crossed the finish line. Luckily they weren't there when I came across or I would have had to ask them to do a cheer for my Saluki's. This is definitely a race I would recommend to anyone looking for a late season Olympic distance. This was also a fantastic race for me for a few reasons. 1)I decided to do the race yesterday, so
