  • Comments: I would rate the race a 3.5 if that was an option. Check-in generated very long lines and I wasnt crazy about the run course. But all the bases seemed to be covered and safety seemed to be well addressed. Because of the long drive, I probably won't race it again, but would if I was closer. I LOVED the flat bike course.

  • Comments: It was mostly run well - on time, adequate volunteers for the water stations, plenty of kayaks on the swim, all-in-all on-course support was good and that is the most important thing. However, packet pickup took about 45 minutes. Also, post-race pizza and subs were advertised, but they were out when I got there. Guess I need to race faster.

  • Comments: Good race and would definitely suggest it for someone looking to move up to first Oly. Only issue I had was that all the lines were really long for a small race. Check in took forever and my friend only had 8 min in transition to set up. Food line was also really long so I passed.

  • Comments: Had a great day. Did the relay with my brothers, and my parents and nieces came to watch. Good friend who lives about an hour from the race drove his bike out to me so I wouldn't have to cart mine put here. It bike was better than mine and better maintained. Volunteers on the course were enthusiastic and cheered for everyone.
