  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: The Somersault events are well organized and all the staff and volunteers are friendly. The venue is good with the beach swim, bike course closed to traffic and some of run along pathway through park. This particular race attracts MANY first timers as there are Try-a-Tri, Super Sprint, and Relay options in addition to a few Duathlons. As a result of so many events running concurrently on a short bike course, it can get very congested and there are people who make poor decisions on the bike. The run can have similar issues but it's not as detrimental to one's speed nor as potentially dangerous. Overall it's a fun race with a huge number of people and a supportive environment for novices, but can get a little frustrating for those more competitive.

  • Comments: Just one good race can change everything. I had been feeling kind of burnt out with my training and was frustrated with my apparent lack of progress in the swimming and running departments. The race dispelled those thoughts. Now I can't wait to do another race. Unfortunately with Sherry expecting in a few weeks, this was the last race of the season for me. Oh well, what a great season ender, and I'll be on a positive note going into training for next year.
