Comments: I love this race. I will be back. The race is very well organized and the packet alone is enough of a reason for me to come back.

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.

Comments: Good swim course, one of the best bike courses I've ever seen, and a pretty challenging run course. More expensive than a normal sprint, but the swag you get is worth it. Excellent race. Just don't go the wrong way on the run or stop too soon. :)

Comments: My group saw and experienced a couple of instances of volunteers being downright nasty to some of the racers, particularly on the bike exit/entrance to transition. Some triathletes do tend to take themselves a little too seriously and can be rude to volunteers, but there where places where the volunteers where clearly in the wrong and just plain rude about it. Hopefully it was an outlier, because this event is one of my all time favorite races and it would suck to not come back due to bad experiences with race personnel.

Comments: Great race. Hands down one of the best sprint races you could do. Also the absolute best goody bag ever! I got a tech hat, LS tech shirt, cotton shirt, tote bag, shades, socks, towel and more!
