  • Comments: This is a really good race for racers and spectators. Lots of things for kids to do while watching. Race has a fun atmosphere and is great for beginners because it is pretty flat and the canal is shallow for swimmers. The downside is some of the road is pretty rough and the canal has some vegetation.

  • Comments: The race is great but it is on the verge of being a bit disorganized. Glad to see the bike course was patched up a little this year.

  • Comments: Wait and wait and wait for race results. Tuxedo Bros is the worst for getting race results out. Won my group! Great day becuase Dad and the fam were there to share.

  • Comments: I said the race didn't start on time, but there were thunderstorms in the area so we didn't start on time for safety reasons. For my first triatholon I don't think I could have picked a better race. Race check in the day before was well organized and the morning of the race they had everything together for the racers. There were several busy intersections we had to cross on our bikes and the police was out ensuring out safety which was great. No complaints from me about the event. I'll be back next year to better my time.

  • Comments: I have to rate this race as a 1. I understand trying to put a race on in downtown Indy is probably a logistic nightmare in finding a course. There was great police coverage at every intersection. That was great, however I don't think having limited routes is an excuse for having such a dangerous bike course. I know my friend said she lost a c02 catridege, her multi use tool and a gel from how bumpy the course was. Another guy was telling us about how his water bottles got launched by the railroad tracks. In conclusion, if you are going to do tri indy enter the fat tire division and bike at your own risk. I won't ever be back for this race.

  • Comments: Good race, especially given the fact that between the Oly, Sprint and Du, there were 1400 racers. The only tidbit I would give to those looking to do this race in the future, would be to avoid the Comfort In n the website recommends. It is a total dump.

  • Comments: Overall I really enjoy Tri-Indy. The only complaint is the bike course. Everything else is top notch. Very well organized with good music and great volunteers. Next year I'll take my chances with the OLY!! :)

  • Comments: First Tri I completed. The 1st I attempted was cancelled before I finished because of athlete death. Last I will participate in this year. Lots of work to do over fall/winter. Will be back to this event next year.

  • Comments: Another race where I have to take the good with the bad. Not surprisingly, the swim was a weak spot. The trouble with transitions - pretty upset with myself for that. Between T1 and T2, I easily lost a minute or more searching for my rack. On the upside, I had a strong bike and followed up with a strong run. Next step is to put together a complete race.

  • Comments: The volunteers did a great job on the bike course warning of sharp turns and dangerous railroad crossings. I can't wait for this event next year and hopefully by then I will have figured out how to swim in a straight line. Goals Swim: 10 Minutes -- 4 Minutes Off T1: 4 Minutes -- 2:59 Picked up a minute Bike: 43 Minutes -- 43:59 Goal Met!!! T2: 2 Minutes -- 1:39 Goal Met!!! Run: 33 Minutes -- 34:13 Will work on it. Total time goal 1:32 Actual: 1:36 This is mostly because of I underestimated the swim navigation. I can work on that and fix it. Next year I am hoping to hit around 1:20.

  • Comments: Average because there wasn't enough security in the transition area. Spectators were walking around in transition and when we took our bikes out no one asked to check our numbers. Anyone could have easily stolen a bike.

  • Comments: I really had a blast this was not my first multi sport race but it was my first Tri, one I won't forget I am sure. This is really addicting. The race course was set up great and ran really well especially with the number of people that were there. My only complaint would be that since I pre-registered and it cost me 65$ I didn't get a race bag. I know there usually isn't much of value in those bags but since I pre-registered I would have liked to have the option to get one. A 65$ T-shirt was what I walked away with but it was worth the satifaction of becoming a Triathlete!

  • Comments: I'm afraid the condition of the canal doesn't bode well for having this race again next year. The muck will probably be 2 feet deep by then. It's a shame because I had a great time. White River State Park is a great venue for a race.
