  • Comments: I'm probably a weirdo, but I love Pocomoke. I've done 2 Columbia Triathlons and I love the accomplishment but can't stand all the fuss that goes into it (packet pickup, bike racking, locking down the course, etc...). It's just nice to showup, rack my bike, race and then just head out of the parking lot. Nice people, good food... The rocks at the beginning of the ride have to go though...bad, bad, bad

  • Comments: I was not impressed with the organizers. One person checking people in, no swimcaps, no body marking, allowing people to wear ipods during the race, etc. I understand wanting to be laid back for 1st timers but this was the worst I have seen. I may do it again but improvement is needed. On to Eagleman!!

  • Comments: Very nice race/course... free subway at the end, and the use of the Y's facilities and showers was nice.

  • Comments: Just a really fun race. Much simpler and easier to deal with than races like Columbia. Could be a little more organized, but there's never been anything that wouldn't keep me coming back every year. Course overall was shorter, but still, taking another 14 minutes off of last year's time was nice.

  • Comments: Improved on all legs, overall 12 minutes faster then last year. Improved my swim -1:20, T1 -0:15, bike -1:50(but AHR 140 vs 147), T2 -1:18, run -4 minutes for shorter course + -3:10 minutes for running. I think I need to put off the HIM hopes until next year and work on Olympics. Need to race an Olympic as strongly as I did this race before moving on.

  • Comments: Things the director should look at for next year: Only one person on the computer checking people in, which made for a very long wait...I waited 25 minutes, and I was one of the early ones. Also, a little annoyed they had already run out of small shirts. I thought I listed shirt size when I signed up. As mentioned previously, the gravel start was not a good idea, especially for those poor cyclists who got a flat, I'm sure from this patch of road. Overall though, the people who volunteered were wonderful. The event speaks very well of Pocomoke. I'll do this one next year!
