  • Comments: This was a well run race! Which was suprising for how big it was! I realized -again- that I really don't like racing! But if I didn't race, I would have a hard time training...and I do like training...for the most part! I might've given the tri bug to my 2 cousins who came to watch for a bit!! Now the next big decision..what am I doing next??

  • Comments: This was a great first race, but they ran out of drinks... so if you didn't finish fast enough, you kind of got screwed. When I finished, there were plenty of drinks left, but as I went to grab another water a half hour later, they were all gone! I also had to wait a long time to get my bike out.

  • Comments: Placing without penalty: 1:21:10 (only a minute off of what I expected) 372/1735 overall 64/181 AG Fun local race. I think it is well run. A lot of local support. Great crowd in town along the end of the bike loop and run. It would be a better race if they limited it to 1200-1500 racers instead of 2000. Finally, I don't know what the deal was with getting gear out of transition. I don't know if I will do this race again next year. I will have to see if it fits into my schedule. It was fun, and it is local. I love sleeping in my own bed, and I enjoy having my wife, kids, and all my friends around on race day.

  • Comments: Getting the bikes out of transition was a nightmare. Stood in line for what seemed like over an hour in the hot sun to get into transition and stood in line to get out. I just don't think they were quite ready to handle over 2000 people.

  • Comments: Other than the penalty I received everything was great. I'll have to wait and see what the penalty is for and see if I can dispute it. Not a big deal though. It's not like I'm in the medals.

  • Comments: Not a bad race for the amount of people they have participating in. It can be a little confusing in transistion if this is your first tri because of the size of it.
