  • Comments: This is a great race. The course is fun (flat and fast) - the water can be cold (and choppy), but lots of volunteers, well organized, great food available to everyone (not just race participants). Nice shirt! (and swim cap) - - wish I had won a pair of socks (always useful, especially on a cold day). Temp (per iphone) at start of race 48 degrees, at end of race 51 degrees. Winds 15 mph ENE. This was my first EVER triathlon in 2009 where I placed 12 out of 12 in my age group. I was thrilled to win 3rd in my age group today (out of 14). NOTE: There were 14 in my age group and the first 2 placed first and second for women overall, so we all moved up two spaces, making me the third place winner (I'll take it!!). 2013: Time 1:36:08 Swim 17:26 T1 3:33 Bike 49:15 T2 :57 Run 24:58 2009: Time: 2:07:00 Swim 23:06 T1 3:59 Bike 1:07:33 T2 1:21 Run 31:03

  • Comments: Really love this little race - 2nd year, and it has gotten bigger. I don't think the volunteers expected as many last minute sign ups (I know I was one). As a result, the waves were probably bigger than intended - 94 women in at once was way too much. Some of the water stations were a little crowded, and the water was either warm or rusty!!! Way better "bling" this year. Instead of tinny medal for age groupers (last year), really nice plaque this time. Everyone also got a nice "finisher's" medal, which doubled as a bottle opener. And the T-shirts were WAY better! Beautifully designed "sports" T (whatever that material is) instead of last year's cotton, which shrunk and I can't wear it. Nice addition of having a coffee vendor present since there wasn't a place to stop and eat within 12 miles of the race site. Overall, still one of my favorite races - as it grows, I'm sure the organizers will adjust in the future.

  • Comments: BIG PROBLEM - - the address on the website was NOT the marina, but the Parks and Recreation Office in Salisbury - - - Information did not have a listing from Cedar Hill Marina in Bivalve or Salisbury.

  • Comments: Really loved this race...great first event for the season...calm, clean water, flat, fast roads for both the bike and run. The people who organized and ran the event were wonderful. I will definitely mark my calendar to do this one again next year. Despite my poor swim, I'm very pleased I was 70 of 74 women out of the water, but placed 35 of 74 when I finished. Since the top three female finishers are also in my age group (45-49...holy cow, women just faster and tougher in their 40s!), that actually bumped me up to 2nd place in my age group, according to their official list. Not bad, considering I swam like a netted tuna. I'll take it!

  • Comments: I heard this was only the second year for the race. Well organized, good post race stuff, really cool "medal" for finishers (laser cut custom metalwork by local artisan) and a nice easy flat course. I'd recommend the race.
