  • Comments: This was my second year at this event and I really enjoy it. It's close to home (w/n an hour), has a lake swim in warm water, and the bike and run courses are also enjoyable. To top things off, I felt that all the volunteers did a great job. I would recommend this event to all beginners and intermediate triathloners.

  • Comments: Overall a really fun and zippy race. No food at the end was a bummer. I could have used a banana or an apple or something. It started a little bit late.

  • Comments: i didn't stick around for anything after the race. i heard that they didn't have medals for quite some time. needless to say i didn't get one. this is a very local race. it's cheap and it is fun. it is well organized for the most part in terms of crew out in the water, markings but not so much with the staff on hand. i picked up my numbers and chip and took my own t shirt, no one was paying attention. i have no idea what the post race stuff was like. i didn't walk thru sponsor village or anything, just wanted to get back home and start my day. it was nice to have raced and been on the road by 9am. :)

  • Comments: Overall a very good race and I'm very happy with my performance. It was nice to have a race that was so close, it was pretty organized, although they did start a little late. The volunteers at the water stops were awesome with the cheering. It's been so long since I raced in my tri club gear I forgot to cheer on fellow clubbers until a couple of people gave me encouragement. It's always nice to have both spectators and people on the course giving you an extra shout out.

  • Comments: This was a fun race for sure. I loved the fact that there weren't a ton of hills....well...there were hills but the hills were right at my ability level. It was a fairly small race, which I liked too, because it wasn't so crowded. Lots of drink stations on the run, which was nice but kind of unnecessary. I would definitely recommend this race and will probably do it again next year. :)
