  • Comments: I love this race! Shandra(RD) does a great job with organization and the relaxed feel to this venue makes for a great 1st tri of the season. So, there were performance, mental and setup issues for me on this race. So what!!! I really had a great time today. A great, fun day for me regardless of my times or standings. Made a big improvement over last year and I'll continue to make more improvements. That's what it's all about, right? :) Also very thankful for all the people I've met on BT in the last year and got to hang out with for a bit at the race. You guys make me laugh and I appreciate that more than you know. :)

  • Comments: I'll be back next year. I love this race. Included my awards, I ended up with the following schwag: water bottle, half-zip long sleeve pull over type shirt (try to beat that with your 100% cotton race tee), visor, TYR Transition Bag, $30 gift card to tri shop, and I think something else that I'm forgetting.

  • Comments: good local race. there are some annoyances you have to deal with (terrible transition surface, always freezing, inconvenient packet pickup, early start, etc.), but once all that is over, i always enjoy the race. good course, good finish line atmosphere, good schwag, and a good cause.

  • Comments: Third year in a row of doing this race. It's nice to be able to sleep in our own bed, but the 6:30 race start is early. Pros - chip timing. fun, fast course. local race. decent give aways in packets. results were posted fast (at the race site and on the internet) Cons - early and cold. lot of transition area is awful and desperately needs to be repaved if people are walking/running barefoot. one of the stands serving coffee ran out of cups. took a while to get the awards ceremony going, but maybe it seemed longer b/c I was cold. Very fun race, mostly b/c of the BT showing. Will add this to next year's schedule.

  • Comments: Again, really pleased with the volunteers and the atmosphere. EVERYONE seemed to "want" to be there, whether racing, volunteering, or coordinating. I hope my next one is run this well...
