  • Comments: This is a really good race and venue. I love the large race feel and this is Lisa's favorite race as well. More post race commentary: After the race and grabbing some small portions of food, we all headed back to the campground and hung out for a couple of more hours. We sat at Jeff and Evan's campsite and chatted for a couple of hours and talked about this race and others and about all of the training plans we had in the coming months. It was great to be able to hang out and get to know Jeff a little more in more practical manner. Jeff and I both commented about how we would have had a really great time if all of the Junkies could have made the trip as planned. We also discussed that maybe we could do it again next year and get more participation if there were an earlier planning process for everyone. Results: http://www.tuxbro.com/TriIndy13O.html

  • Comments: The weather was amazing and can't be planned for! The rest of the race was good. I liked the location, the canal, the flat course!!! Needs pavement fixed. Needs a couple of changes to the way they manage the bike course

  • Comments: Course was a little rough- two railroad crossings (even with mats) meant slowing down, and the back half of the bike course was pretty bumpy. Still, pretty ride throughout various areas and a logical, easy course with two loops. Plenty of volunteers, race went pretty smoothly all things considered.

  • Comments: Great race, and a great course. Doing a Tri in downtown Indy was awesome. The transition area was a huge grassy field near the NCAA headquarters and was a perfect location for the event. Enjoyed it thoroughly. Will definitely come back.

  • Comments: Just a couple of things for the RD: 1. WIth such hot weather forecasted - have ice at the run stations (the last aid station had some on my first loop but was out on the second. 2. I think this is a great event that will continue to grow - they will need to improve the swim start procedure. 3.Keep it up INDY - Awesome Event!

  • Comments: I was 8 minutes slower than last year, I like the race and it looks like they are going to pave some of the rough spots on the bike, but this course will always have some rough road and RR tracks and lots of turns. I like the swim and run and will be back. I'm a little disappointed with my performace but I just wasn't there mentally and need to step it up.

  • Comments: The post race food leaves a lot to be desired. Even though my stomach couldn't handle it, my family would have enjoyed something to eat while we were sitting around waiting for me to recover. The other issue is how long it takes them to post results. They are very slow putting up results and they don't post them to the web until late that evening. The bike course was really bumpy, but that was expected because that's the way downtown Indianapolis is. I love the venue, but they really need to work on these few things to improve this race. That being said, I will be back next year and hopefully about 20 pounds less and kill this time.

  • Comments: I have been stewing about my lack of performance today for a much of the day and taking the time to review my data has helped me reconcile with my results and realize I was not far off my game today. I was disappointed that I didn't have a faster overall time at first but now I understand the bike was a "correct" olympic distance rather than the mile or so shorter than that last year. My overall placement was really good but my AG placement disappoints me. I really think a tri-bike would have brought me up a place or two. I guess I am satisfied......kinda.....almost.

  • Comments: Decently organized, but no water available in transition area pre-race. Bike course smoother in spots but overall WORSE than past years 'cause the RR tracks & rough areas were worse. I've never seen so many ejected bottles on a 40k bike course before, nor seen the incidence of flats.

  • Comments: Need racing flats with more support for longer races. Need more time on aero bars, stresses different muscles. I felt like I could have gone faster, just not used to how much I need to leave in the tank for tri's. I felt like i was a 6or7/10 on my exertion level. Really enjoyed myself and had a good time.

  • Comments: I think the main improvement Tri Indy could make would be to improve the bike course. They should consider re-routing the olympic to a single loop course, and try to get on some better roads.

  • Comments: I would like to have seen the bike course take some better roads. More what I would like to have seen was the race results being posted sooner. If a small time race like the KPC in Kendallvile could have all the results posted on a computer as soon as each leg of a race was done surely a big organizer like tuxedo brothers could make some postings sooner than several hours later. I left the race site more than an hour after I finished the race and there were VERY limited results posted.
