  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: As everyone else states the SWAG is pretty good. The course was great and I really enjoyed the feel of bigger competition. I don't think I will do this every year but I would love to do this again every few years. If I lived near here it would be an annual event. Everything started on time and was well organized. The volunteers were plentiful and happy.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I want to clarify the too hard above. I only chose this because just right wasn't exactly right either. The course was extremely difficult and challenging for me. But that's strictly because of my heart and training issues. I loved it though. With the shorter distances on flat courses, I have sometimes felt like the races were too easy- not that they weren't challenging either- for me any course will be a challenge because of my heart. So while none are easy this one was very difficult. But I truly feel like I accomplished something major today and it's because the course was soooo dang hard for me. I really had to dig deep to get it done but that makes the finish even sweeter.

  • Comments: Despite the 2011 Hot Streak that resulted in unusually warmer water and higher air temps. Still a great race. It's tougher than it looks, but achievable for most.

  • Comments: Year after year, this is consistently the best sprint-distance race I've done. Great course, well organized and run. This year's swag included a really nice back-pack, tech shirt, regular tee shirt, light-weight jacket, hat, socks, race medal, and a few food items.

  • Comments: Overall I am very happy with this race as I beat my last years race time by almost 4 minutes. I felt really strong most of the day and ended up doing much better than I thought I would especially at this race which always has much steaper competition than the other local races.

  • Comments: This race was an outstanding event, far and away the best run sprint distance race I've done. Give-aways were fantastic, and the orgnization was excellent. The only negative comment I have is that we didn't get marked with ages, so you couldn't tell if someone was in your wave when passing / being passed. Not a big deal, but I'd prefer to know! In the last year, I've been able to move to a decent middle of the pack position. I feel like I've made a lot of progress and have potential to make a lot more. I'd like to do this race again next year and shoot for a time in the upper 1:30's.
