  • Comments: I enjoyed the race. It is one of those events that make racing "fun"! Before the start I asked the RD if we had to wear swim caps and he said, "Heck no, this is the north shore. As long as you are wearing shorts we don't care. Just go out and have fun. Unofficially you can even wear an ipod. Just keep the volume low enough to hear potential problems... enjoy!" It is a perfect event for beginners. The elites were tearing up the course.

  • Comments: The location is not the greatest for the swim, but it is nice to get a race out of town. The bike and run course is pretty decent too. Although the road is getting rougher.

  • Comments: I enjoyed the race except for the swim. I could have done without all coral, but it's par for the course on Oahu's north shore. Will probably do this race again in the future.

  • Comments: The lack of watering spots at the finish was a really bad call. The race director should have realized that one water cooler wasn't going to cut it. At the very least they could have filled up cups with water instead of having hot, tired and thirsty triathletes waiting in line for water.

  • Comments: Race needed some improvements. First off, 3 porta potties for 275+ athletes, their friends and family, spectators, and volunteers??? Not a good idea there. This caused the swim to start late while waiting for athletes to finish doing their pre-race business. There weren't tons of volunteers here, but the race course was so simple and short, they really didn't need tons. I think they had just enough. It woould have been nice if the results sheet also had Age Group placings as every other Tri I've done has had. There was also some silliness going on during the awards ceremony. All in all though, I had a good time and will probably do this one again.

  • Comments: How to rate the race? Well, everyone was friendly. Good food. Maybe a few more portapotties. Nice scenery. What can you do about the swim? Not much. Aikes. Maybe supply a full first aid kit. Seriously. And then I checked my results hoping for top 50%. 5 out of 23 in my AG. Booyah!

  • Comments: I think that this was a great race for me as a beginner, first time triathlete. I had a lot of fun doing it. I have only been into running, swimming, and biking the last 3 months. I made a lifestyle change that I should have a long time ago.

  • Comments: There was no "Elite Class" in this Triathlon, and some of the "big" names showed up to play.... Every race is a learning experience, and chance to see my training pay off. Learn from myself and others, then apply..........

  • Comments: This was my second triathlon-the first was also a sprint. Both of them were great, and I’m ready for more...I think that I’m going to try a slightly longer distance next time to see if I still think they are great fun when I exert myself more! My only regret is that it didn’t occur to me to search for other people on this forum.
