  • Comments: This was my third 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 racers. Next year though I would like to encourage them to go with 5 mins between the waves in the swim and not 3 mins as there's just too many people in the way.

  • Comments: This race went very smooth this year. Issues that were problems last year (multiple long lines on race morning) were addressed beautifully! (there were no lines at all on race morning).

  • Comments: Very fun race. Definitely would have been in contention for a podium had I come in fresh. I just need to be smarter about my prior day's workout. It's ok to train through races and not formally taper into them, but don't go out and kill yourself the day before...just dumb. Live and learn.

  • Comments: I actually love this race. There is a coned off lane for the bikes and traffic control every step of the way. The fixed their 'long line' issue this year by providing bike stickers with the race packets we picked up the day before. So, there was no need for the long line that delayed the race start last year. This race started exactly on time.

  • Comments: Almost six minutes faster than last year. Gotta be pleased with that. And I finished in the top half of my age group. Such a nice change from my recent placings in longer races. I felt sluggish and tired the whole race. I was hoping that that was because my effort was greater than last year. Given the times I ended up with I'd like to think that was the case. I sprained my knee a few weeks ago and it didn't bother me at all. That was because I have been resting it. It's hard to balance training for a race and resting a knee. I hope I hit it just right. The organization of this year's race was SO MUCH better than last year's. Our race packets were complete so no lining up race morning. The bike course had marshalls all over the place so we didn't have to worry about traffic or pedestrians. On top of Hansen Dam the gate was open and it was coned off so we didn't have to dodge pedestrians. Three water stations on the run? You gotta be kidding me (in a good way)? I wished I would have
