  • Comments: This is a good race course with a clean lake to swim in. The swim is stated as a 1/4 mile swim but maybe a little longer. The bike route has some rolling hills with good pavement to ride on. The run course is flat with a few turns through a nice neighborhood.

  • Comments: A well-run community event. Only small section of road was really bad but it will be repaved next year. Swim was great as the water was very clear. Run was good because it was overcast, Age group awards were really nice metals with the date, age group, and place engraved on them.

  • Comments: Numbers were down by about 90 (310 to 218) individual racers but a lot more relay racers. 1/2 mile swim scares off a lot of racers. However there is a lot of fast racers at this event. Great race and great venue with plenty to do with family before. Reall good kids triathlon the day before so you can make this a family event.

  • Comments: Love this race, favorite of the year! We had perfect weather. Smaller race this year as I think Maple Grove has sucked a lot of the TC racers away.

  • Comments: There were some wicked fast guys in my AG, top 2 finished 5th and 6th overall and neither was Charlie Roach. I finished 8 sec faster than last time here (2009, missed last year due to knee injury). PR bike speed for any race, so very happy with that. Fine with overall time based on my training and physical limitations. Even with my 6:32 pace from 2009 I would have finished in 4th place in AG. With this time last year I would have 2nd in AG, so it all depends on who shows up as far as podium positions. Good job by race organizers, plenty of volunteers, water stations, good food, etc.

  • Comments: I had distance hopes of getting to the podium earlier in the year, but after looking at the strong field prior to the race, I felt I had no real chance. Favorite race of the year!

  • Comments: I liked this race. It was well organized with lots of volunteers. The whole course was well laid out and logical. It was small (450) but there were very strong participants there too. I'm sure I'll do it again. There were real bathrooms awa portapotties. The food at the end was good--they even grilled hotdogs (tho I don't eat them). The shirt was technical, but the logo was tiny on the front, the color was dark blue, and mostly the back was tons of ads.

  • Comments: Great weather and a fun race. Good competition in my AG. Fun trading places with Sawra on the bike. She beat me by 25 secs overall and finished 3rd overall among women. Always fun to spend time and race w/Scott.

  • Comments: My favorite race so far! Overall goal was 1:35:00, so beat it. I did a 1:40:40 last year with very slow transitions, but improved in all areas. There were 332 finishers 421 entrants.

  • Comments: I think this race is just a really nice no frills race. Not a lot of extras but they just do a nice job. The bike course is rough but the RD doesn't have a lot of options given the location of the swim. Hopefully the county will get around to repaving some of the roads.

  • Comments: This was my first outdoor tri in many years so was pretty nervous, but had easy goals of finishing and just having fun. Took the Transitions easy. Loved the race and will do it again next year!

  • Comments: Great race. Great location. Great organization. Will be back, next time with the kids, since there is a nice beach and playground. Extremely happy with my performance at this event. Put together my best three 'paces' of any event thus far, and this was a 'long' sprint ... especially happy I got my run under 8min/miles, and on a four miler too (my best flat 5k has been 7:47min/mile, so this was FANTASTIC!). Emjoyed chatting with Jeremiah Utecht and Mike Shae at the awards ... look forward to hanging with you guys next year ... summers here are too damn short ... can't believe the season is over!!!

  • Comments: I really like this race, I just wish I had performed up to my expectations. I still PR'ed the course by 8 minutes, so I can't be too dissappointed, but in all actuality, I kind of am. I am dissappointed in myself for letting my training go to hell and just expecting that my fitness level would stay the same...this is a good lesson learned!!
