  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Good race, another solid Piranha effort, and, to me, an extremely tough course. Not sure why this race isn't more popular; maybe it has something to do with the difficulty level. Or maybe people think, like I did, it's a throwaway; you read the parameters of the race and you think, man, that's nothing, but this was easily one of the hardest triathlons I've completed. I saw a lot of high-end triathletes there, so the good ones are doing it. I'm sure conditions today impacted turnout. 148 were registered for the tri, only 92 raced, although I believe a number transferred to the duathlon.

  • Comments: Please support this race, it was an awesome experience from start to finish. Yes, the bike course is hard and there's a massive hill at the end of the run, but it's a ton of fun.

SUCCESS! - 94% Humidity, VERY FOGGY! - Sun showed up as we were racking the bikes on the Jeep after the race. (Angrily waves fist in the air) - RACE DIRECTORS: Cut grass should be blown off of the transition area the morning before the race!!!

  • Comments: Very well organized local race. A bit pricey for a sprint triathlon but very well put together. This is definately a bikers triathlon as the bike course is difficult. Volunteers did a great job. Would definately consider doing this again especially considering it is so close.

  • Comments: Need more light in morning to find parking - pitch black and couldn't find roads or parking area. Long lines for same day packet pick up - seem to move okay, time of events good - - like that they started the awards at 9am (even if everyone had not finished) - first time I got to see it.

  • Comments: Overall I'm pretty proud of myself. I think my biggest accomplishment of the day was overcoming my fear and nervousness at the beginning. If this bike course is as bad as everyone says, and I was still able to do well, then I think I'm up for almost anything. And one of the most important parts of the day - I fell head over heels for my bike. Everything finally clicked and I am no longer kicking myself for buying it!!

  • Comments: The only complaint about the venue is that the transition area was higher than everything else so everytime you came into the area you were coming up hill. Overall, an awesome race. The volunteers were friendly and helpful. There weren't many spectators out on the course but that was okay. I had a lot of fun and enjoyed the race. My goal going into a race is try and finish in the top 50% (a true MOP) and under 1:45. I was in the top third of this race and almost 9 minutes under goal. If I wasn't in the largest and most competitive AG I could have a chance of placing with some serious training. I could have easily cut 2-3 minutes off of my time with faster transitions and a better swim starts.
