  • Comments: Great race overall. Well run. I might have had a little more in the tank for the swim, but am glad that I went out easy.

  • Comments: In all fairness to the organization, I felt like they did a good job and the fact that the bike leg was cancelled pretty much the night before didnt help them. I felt like the run course could have been better prepared and graded a little more (they said it had but I couldn't tell). Also they only had 8 porta-jons which led to really long lines. I would have said double the amount they had. The swim was great and the water temp was a record 70 degrees. I wish I could have done the bike course as it looked to be flat and fast.

  • Comments: The race would have been a great race course if the swim wasn't so bad. They could have used 2 more kayakers at least (but I am sure they didn't think it was going to be so crazy windy).

  • Comments: The first race of the season and I'm satisfied. The focus this year will be on getting faster and learning how to be a good father. That said I may or may not do any long course. I'm leaning towards doing Lake Stevens 70.3 again (cuz it's my favorite HIM course) and a smattering of X-Terra races. I know I got some good fitness right now and it's just a matter of getting my head into race mode.

  • Comments: Little dissapointed overall with the race since I did just about the same time as last year, and that was my first race ever. The bike was the weak link, although I was all over the place on the swim it was still pretty quick. Fun racing with the other rmtc peeps and a lot of competition.

  • Comments: Great race, well-organized, good for newbies: 88 first-timers out of 400 registered. They even had our own division! I liked the three loops since it made it feel like you and the super fast people are racing the same race, instead of just seeing them at the start and finish, but nothing in between. Definitely doing it again!

  • Comments: I'm really happy with how this race turned out. I didn't think I'd do well, but ended up with right where I should be at this time. So I'm very happy. Hiked/jogged with Meg at the Flatirons afterward. Grabbed some pizza loaded with all kinds of wonderful meats and cheeses (pure guilty indulgence). Chased it with the strongest margarita I've ever had and topped it off with gelato. Pretty much a perfect day!

  • Comments: Beautiful venue and a beautiful day for my first tri. There were a lot of very fast people at this event, my age group didn't seem to represent very well! Overall I am happy with my finish, but lots of room for improvement!

  • Comments: Love this race. The closed bike course is really fun. I like the high level of competition. Award was weak (bottle opener that wasn't dated or anything). I wish RDs would just do a hat, visor, or t-shirt with "3rd place M45-49" on it. That would be better than any award I've received yet. It would be the shirt I'd keep and wear most often giving them extra PR for the race. I'll definitely return next year.

  • Comments: Great production, and way cool T-shirt. Without Limits puts on a great race! I don't know if I'd do this again, just because it's so far from where I live. Definitely a fun race though- and I loved the XOOD drink and the Jimmy Johns afterwards.
