  • Comments: Considering the rainy conditions, the organizers did a good job of managing this event. The only thing I think they could've done to help us with the conditions was put mats at the exit/entrances in transition as that part got real muddy. I'll probably come back next year to see if I can try it in different conditions.

  • Comments: Kinetic is one of the best. I plan on being there again next year. The staff was helpful and nice. They tried to make that best of the fact it did nothing but pour the whole race. Many thanks to them for volunteering to be there and put on an event for us even when it is uncomfortable.

  • Comments: I want to get revenge on this course, I think I should have been able to do a 1:35 this year, and know if I was healthy on the run and without the long swim I could hit it.. I think this is a great first tri to see how effective off season training was.. and renting the house with others and cheering on the half was a blast.. see you next year Kinetic

  • Comments: I think the water was just too cold for me to perform well. Not sure if I'd repeat this race. Funniest thing I heard: on the run "I think I'm getting swimmer's ear." Funniest thing I saw: a mile or so into the run: a woman running around a puddle. As if that mattered by then!

  • Comments: Due to rain, no post race activities, canceled awards ceremony, and everyone was very crowded getting food. Not organizers' fault really, was a weather issue.

  • Comments: Excellent course, excellent race. Will do it, or the half every year. 2nd place in ag makes me very happy, even though it says much more about the competition than my performance. 63 women registered so I knew from before the start that it would take lots of luck to place in the ag, but I guess I was sufficiently lucky - and raced hard enough too :)

  • Comments: Awards ceremony cancelled due to risk of hypothermia for athletes. Free pasta, rolls and salad for athletes. I usually can't eat the other stuff that is at these events because my stomach can't handle it. This was easier. All in all, I had a GREAT time! I'd like to do this race again. I really felt for the volunteers though. At least we were out there warmed up. They were cold, soaked, and freezing! I always try to say thank you when I pass.
