  • Comments: I would strongly recommend the Osprey Sprint to anyone. Beginners will feel a great sense of accomplishment. Veterans will probably get PR. I loved going in to Ocean City afterwards and eating Thrasher fries and watching people. There was also a wine festival going on.

  • Comments: The appeal of this race is the high percentage of newbies due to the "easy course." It is not intimidating to the beginner. You see people from all walks and lives, showing up, and it seems like everyone you talk to is doing their first ever triathlon. The race organization itself is very laid back, which has its pluses and minuses. A few years ago they were flexible enough to change the race date to Sunday at the last minute due to a big storm roughing up the waters too much for a swim. This year, we didn't even have helmet and bike stickers. You might see a 60 year old guy/woman doing his/her first ever triathlon, as well as guy pulling up next to the start with his boat, planning on keeping his bike on his boat for the transition (and probably some beer ;-)). I wonder what the race people would have done if I didn't tell him to rack his bike last year. :-) The course itself is kind of boring but if you like the Eastern Shore of Maryland, you will like the course.

  • Comments: Great, low key event. My goal was to find a good event for my first open water swim and this was it.

  • Comments: The event started a little late because of issues with the swim course. Great turnout for a great event. I will definitely be doing this event again next year.
