• 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.
