  • Comments: Confusion over waves people were in, as the waves were not in race packet. Very congested at the finish, with confusion between runners and cyclists on which lane to be in. Water at finish in trash cans, inside plastic bags so you didn't know it was there. Nobody offering it to the finishers. No other post race food available.

  • Comments: I think that this was a perfect race venue for my 1st triathlon. The volunteers were very helpful and so were the other racers.

  • Comments: My time was close to last year's, but with about 3 minutes added to the swim. This is where I lost time. Proud of Bike time and will take run split. Wish they would get course measured right. Who knows what I really did. Hard to compare to last year because of the different conditions as well as new run course. Nice warm up to HIM in November though. Local race for me so will be back next year.

  • Comments: Great race- one I'd definitely do again next year. Only about 300 participants, so it's kinda nice to do a smaller tri every now and then. I only had 4 people in my AG, but that's going to change next year when I enter the 25-30 AG. Yikes! More competition! I was really excited also, that I was 33 out of 90 women overall. There were some really ultrafit women out there- gave me some good motivation to keep working out!

  • Comments: Multi-race and the Lake Worth, Florida Chamber of Commerce put on a fantastic race. Lots of volunteers. On time with everything. We were there at 5:30 am to register and pick up packets and they were waiting for us. It was better organization than any 5k I have done. And the volunteers were PERFECT. There must have been over a hundred from local schools there and they were Great. I can't imagine a better experience for my first tri. The tri shorts were definately the way to go. Worth the price. Reliving the race here in this chronicle is pretty cool, too.
