  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This race was well organized and a blast to do. If you do it, plan on getting there a bit early as it was quite a walk from parking to transition, maybe a quarter mile or more. The only complaint was the number of people per rack, 10 bikes per rack was to many. Transition spots were assigned by race number, so you couldn't just move to a rack with more room. It made the transitions difficult. With more space on the racks, I'd have nothing to complain about.

  • Comments: I gave this race a low score because of the terrible condition of the bike course. I would not do this race again because of the bike course. Otherwise a good race and a great end to my first season racing.

  • Comments: I think most people were bummed about losing the swim segment. But the Bay was a mess and we need to keep things in perspective. I would have preferred a run-bike-run rather than just a bike-run. I really appreciated all the volunteers who came out to help and cheered everyone on. These kids were enthusiastic and made a bitterly cold and painful race quite pleasant.

  • Comments: This is a good race from many perspective, and has issues on others. TriCalifornia does a world class job putting on events. The are true class acts. They handled the oil in the bay with grace and class. At the end of the day they did the right thing by canceling the swim. I felt bad for the athletes trying to qualify for the Olympics. Can you image being a swimmer and tapering for this event. Bummer. The downside the bike course with the tons of cracks and pot holes. However, if you bike the course a couple of times before the event you should be ok.

  • Comments: I think this course would have been a really good race for me had I not had so many problems leading up to the day. Everything was flat and I think next year I will have a much beter time on the clock, and just a better time on the course. I'm thrilled I decided to do the race and look forward to getting faster this winter.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Rather a boring course, but it gets a higher rating because it is extremely spectator friendly. A good one for a beginner trying out the sport.
