  • Comments: I am on the fence about this race. Some things I liked, others not. They had some music going and the starter was getting people pumped up. They were also spot-on time with the wave starts. But A LOT of the volunteers couldn't answer simple questions (or at least direct you to someon who could), which was a bit irritating. I also had to help pick up FOUR bike racks that were knocked over, and it was not due to athletes being too rough. I've seen toothpicks that were more stable than these racks. Parking was also a pain; so many roads were blocked off so early that it was hard to know where to go. I was considering doing this race next year for a first Oly (because my employer will foot the bill), but now I'm not sure. The relay was fun though; hopefully I can talk my teammates into a longer distance next year!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was my first triathlon and I loved it! I thought that the event was well run (with some small exceptions at the pre-race expo) and well attended. Lots of beginners as well as some veterans made for a great mix of competitors. And racing through downtown Cleveland is a not-to-be-missed opportunity as the scenery is great!
