  • Comments: Fun race, and I was very surprised with how well I did this time around. Despite the fact that I went around all the buoys and completed two laps on the bike and the run, I found it hard to believe that I was at the front of the pack. In T1 I looked at the racks and noticed they were all full and wondered if I was in the wrong wave. Then in T2 I had the same feeling with no bikes being present. But it turns out that this was just a good race for me, and not too competitive.

  • Comments: This race normally would get a good rating out of me. HOWEVER... the expo... what a joke. 3 vendors? maybe? They didn't have my shirt... how can they not have the right number of shirts? I mean, I EVEN selected my size when i registered. My first timer friend didn't get his either. They said "oh we'll mail it to you" yeah, No.. Almost a month later... no shirt. $130 for the race... no shirt. No expo. No way I'll be doing this race again until CAS comes back and is the primary sponsor again. Whoever did it this year was horrible. Oh, and if someone from the race staff is reading this, send me my shirt. Seriously. I like how they look this year.

  • Comments: Overall I did better than I expected, and had an absolute blast. I figured I'd finish in 1:40-1:45 but ended up finishing in 1:32 which blew my mind. Also my run time blew my mind, I didn't expect it to be quite that fast (for me).

  • Comments: It was a good organized race in my opinion. That being said this was just my second so I can compare to others. Hope to return next year and doing it again(except for the swim)

  • Comments: I enjoyed this race and the event. weather could have been better, but can't control that. Noticed that they sent off 2 age groups at a time, so there were a lot of people in the water for our wave.

  • Comments: Average race. Race organizers seriously need to shut down the bike trail for the run. There were weekend warriors out there interfering with the runners on the course

  • Comments: One little comment, how about some porta-potties in the transition area for athletes only? They where all outside the area. There was a long line of both racers and spectators, and as a result it was a bit of a rush to the start area for some of the racers.

  • Comments: My goal was to get under 2 hours for my first one. And sure enough I bolted when I saw 1 hour 29 minutes. I totally flew down the quick turn style finish and hit the 1 hour 30 min. mark. Now the challenge will be to shave 30 minutes off the time so I might be able to medal in my age group! (LOL).
