  • Comments: Excellent race; Elite Endeavors does an outstanding job. On time, cannon start was neat, post-race lunch/awards were good. I dislike the 'young fast guys' starting last wave start as I swam over and biked around a lot of people, but oh well. I'll be there next year; a little better trained so I can take the win and move up overall!

  • Comments: USAT Mideast Qualifier - Some really fast people ( multiple folks under 2 hours ) , very organized ( they will penalize you if you dont have your bike racked properly ) , draft officials on the course , a beer truck , catered awards lunch if you stick around.

  • Comments: Great race, can't blame the organizers for the rain. The check-in process was quick and painless. It took hardly any time at all for me to get my markings and timing chip. I would like to thank all of the volunteers for helping out despite the weather.

  • Comments: sad about them not having cups at mile 3, but when we got to mile 4 they heard and knew we were all fighting dehydration so they gave us extra water (refilled our cups).

  • Comments: Love the beer post race, a couple aid stations had themes, a large field of fasties to test yourself against, flat and fast. I really like this venue! Spending the night makes it an adventure! :) And like always, I love racing with friends...awesome!

  • Comments: I PR'ed this course - dropping NINE minutes off my previous best at this course (a just 90 seconds off my best time ever at this distance). I had a good race at this venue Pros - Beer truck ( I got "legged" at the truck - the guy they had pouring the beer asked to see my calf before serving me to check my age), very organized, catered Bravo lunch, awesome selection of fruit at the finsh line, lots of volunteers, flat course, great swimming lake, marked bike rack with assigned spaces, USAT officials patroling the course and nailing drafters Although this race costs about 25$ more than most other Olympic distance races I think it is worth it (swag bag is a little light but that is just a small negative)

  • Comments: I PR'ed this by 3.5 min from last year. I was hoping this race would be my chance at sub 2:30 but it will almost always be wetsuit illegal (higher swim times) and the wind and heat this time derailed that idea. The race is still awesome though. My kids did the kids triathlon and fun run the previous day, my wife did well in the sprint. The venue is perfect. Plenty of volunteers. Quick race results (posted that day online and mostly at race site as it is happening). Beer truck. Nice system for packet pick up and body marking. Plenty of nearby parking.

  • Comments: This was my first race with Elite Endeavors and I was quite happy with how things were run and there overall setup. The only negative is that Bikesport is one of there sponsors and I truly detest Bikesport after dealing with Demerly on the purchase of a bike for the wife that never came in.

  • Comments: This is the best presented race I do. They start on time (HFP I am looking at you) despite the very large numbers of competitors (alot of them first timers). Tons of volunteers. The post race spread and lunch is head and shoulders above the rest. Can you say Beer truck? Good fresh fruit and snacks. A very nice lunch post all races. No stale cookies and RC cola in a warm cooler. The course is great- swim is not chaotic, the bike course is flat and the run is partially shaded. Will buy from again A++

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. I heard they put on a good lunch afterward, but I didn't stay around for it. The lake/pond is small and protected by trees so there are no waves and the area surrounding Sylvania is flat as a pool table, so the course is not going to kill you. They have more than enough volunteers. I would reccomend this race to anyone.
