  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This race is nearly a 5 and probably should be rated a 4.5. I didn't rate Post race activities though they're somewhere between Average and Good. There's no post race massage or anything else along those lines. But, there were some great post race snacks plus plenty of water, soda, and sports drinks and places to sit which is actually lacking at other races. And the Awards ceremony gave practical AG awards which I always think is a great idea. Kinetic Sprint has been established for many years now and Setup does know how to do this one correctly. Plus, the lightly rolling bike, decent run and swim courses, and super AG awards make this a good beginner tri and a super "season start" tri for the experienced triathlete. Hoping that Rumpuss in Bumpass comes back in a future year. But, Kinetic is just as enjoyable that I'll be back if Rumpass isn't.

  • Comments: Set Up does a good job with their events. Overall, I'm happy with my performance given that I haven't done any speed work and I wasn't tapered for the race. I clearly have the most improvement to be made on the bike and run (3/33 on the swim, 15/33 on the bike and 19/33 on the run in my AG). Would be nice if they could get the TA accurate with the bike in/out not in the same spot. Other than that, no real complaints. Was on time, nice shirts/socks, good post race refreshments and nice venue.

  • Comments: Great location and very well organized. My wife and son enjoyed it as well - kids activities (bounce house) were a hit.
