  • Comments: This was my first triathlon and I loved it! It was very well organized (I've done over a 100 bike races...years ago) and everyone was friendly. The post race food was good as well! Loved those hoagies!!

  • Comments: Very solid event; Piranha seems to have their stuff together. They handled pre-race packet pick-up very efficiently and I had plenty of time left over to set up transition. I like the way transition spots were assigned too...you might not get that great a spot but it's very organized and everybody has plenty of room. They got the race off on time too; actually started before I even knew it had happened. Judging from the number of mountain and hybrid type bikes - and my finishing in the middle of the pack - this is very much a first-timers type race. Think that may be why it's so popular...people see two-mile run and think, "I can do that." And they can, but it was a challenge too. As I think back on my season, the eye-openers are that this "oddball" race (which I almost blew off because it was "only" a two mile run) and the duathlon in April were two of the hardest events I did all year; I wouldn't have expected that beforehand.

  • Comments: cold day, water was surprisingly warm (relatively speaking, didn't need wetsuit), not as crowded as i though it would be. still a challenging, fun course for a sprint.
