  • Comments: This is a relatively new, reverse order tri. It is fun to do, but hard to compare to other races due to the order. Everyone struggled in the swim, according to spectators. The bike course is hilly, some short rollers, some slow, steady climbs. None are really hard. The pool is beautiful, and felt refreshing when I got in. There were plenty of volunteers and plenty of lifeguards. My sister-in-law DNF'd, and the policeman and volunteers were so sweet to her, getting her off the course. Food was plenty, even at the end of the race. The T-shirt was cool with a kokopelli on it. Had to love it. Was fun doing race with Richard, Ashley, James, Peggy , and Elizabeth. Peggy and Liz dnf'd on the bike. The altitude and hills got to them. There were a couple of area that could be improved. The bike course had an intersection where the bikers coming out of transition, and those finishing cross paths. Elizabeth nearly crashed here. It's a really poor design, and it's only a matter of time before
