  • Comments: Mark puts on a great race. This was my first time doing the sprint, i had always done the Olympic. The Sprint course is much hillier than the Olympic, but both are fun. I was hoping this year to do the Double. Sprint and Olympic, but some training issues and bike issues only allowed me to do the Sprint.

  • Comments: Race start was delayed as packet pickup was finished on time. Pushed back about 30 min. I think this might be a part of why they "started" the race 30 min earlier than in years past. Too many people come to the race 30 minutes prior to start and expect no line.

  • Comments: Haven't raced for over 2 years. Had kept up with the exercising, and am able to do 2x the distance of individual legs. Just never put them together. Some time in June, saw that the race wasn't yet full. Race in Aug is when I am taking a summer break from school. Decided to register and see how much fitness I had lost/retained. I am not "back" into the sport, per se, more like doing it occasionally as a special event, with the major purpose to see friends and have fun with them. I had always liked this race. When I am done with school, I might show up more at these event, either as athlete or volunteer. I finished this in 1:46:01. My first Sprint race in 2005 was 1:36:09, with shorter distances in all 3 legs. The conclusion is, I had retained much of my fitness while aging up. Just realized I am in a new age bracket now.

  • Comments: Best organization of any race I have done thus far. The fact that the Olympic follows the Sprint means that there were many facilities in place that wouldn't normally be in place for the small sprint alone (tons of porto-potties, for instance). Nice and flat course, though the double loop bike was maybe not ideal. Looking forward to doing it again next year!

  • Comments: Great race, the organizers and volunteers were awesome. I hope to come back next year and maybe try to step up and race on Sunday instead of Saturday. I'm not sure if I'll be ready, but it's a nice goal to shoot for.

  • Comments: This is always my favorite race of the year. I can not say enough about Eric, Mark and his crew. They have managed to put together a marque event year after year. Not quite sure how they do it, but it is all good in my book. The weather was fabulous, sure beat the tropical storm wash out last year. The field size was good and I really like the addition of the sprint and kids Du to the weekend. Only down side was partly due to my time issues setting up, I did not put up any tents and BT activities post race were limited. As there was no BBQ after the race, people seemed to leave a little quicker than after the oly dose. Can not wait until next year.
