  • Comments: I thought the race was great, everything went smoothly and the volunteers were awesome. The post race party was great, and I was able to get my bike out of the transition area very quickly, and I thought results were posted in a reasonable amount of time. Had a blast!

  • Comments: Race overall was very well organized, I did not like waiting 40+ minutes in a line to start the swim, but I guess if I get faster at the swim I can start further up. It did feel like the tents afterwards were just thrown up without any thought, they could better place each tent. I had a great time, I'm sad I won't be doing any more triathlons this year, but look forward to 2011 and breaking a one hour 10 minute sprint triathlong time.

  • Comments: The goodie bag for this race was rediculous for the money paid for this. However, being so close to home it is a great race for my family to come out and see what I do with all the time I spend training. Plus I don't have to pay for hotel/meals/driving expenses/etc. compared to other races I travel for. For that reason alone I will probably do this race again I think the race is very well run for the amount of people at this race. There was a lot of confusion in the swim. Definitely my most aggressive experience in the water to date, but I'm pleased with how I held it together and created a new pr. I'm a little dissapointed in the swim course as the middle came back to shallow water where a mass of people walked around the bouy. For me this broke my momentum as I was forced to walk with everyone else or dodge them with my head under water. For me, this was my best performance to date and everything came together. I'm actually surprised because I literally spent the week

  • Comments: For a local race with 2000 participants this is a really well run race. Even getting the bikes out of transition after the race was fast and easy. Was able to get in by 9:30am. Sweet. Can't wait until next year.

  • Comments: This race keeps getting more and more expensive each year. I think that's because the race director is a WTC one. I don't know if it is worth it to pay $90 to do a sprint triathlon. I do like it becasue it is one of the bigger sprint triathlon in this area, but it is starting to become not worth the money.

  • Comments: This race is a MUST for anyone in the Midwest area. It is a great atmosphere and after years of experience they have this race down! Plenty of volunteers and city workers to help make sure everything is safe and in good order. I will absolutely be back next year and it will definitely be an A race. I have a bone to pick with that OWS and I will show it who is boss next year. I can not wait for my next triathlon. I have a few options, but this was awesome. I feel great and can't wait to do it all over again.

  • Comments: After the last one, was frustrated and pissed. This event went great and I exceeded my expectations. I've still got a long way to go on the swim but can see the progress. On the bike and run, it's great to see the training pay off with solid results.
