  • Comments: The day started in an inauspicious way. Waiting to check my bike in some kid ran the drink cart into my wheel. I'm over it now, but I was "fairly angry" at the time. He dinged the carbon a bit, but didn't break it, and the carbon isn't structural in my wheels. His excuse? I was yelling at you guys to move, I didn't have control of that thing coming down the ramp. It was heavy." No apology, which almost made me more angry. Could have used a few more volunteers in crucial spots, but for the most part they did a good job with it. Could have also used something to show where the finish line was, it was more than a little bit hidden. They need one of those arches for next year.

  • Comments: first race hosted by student oragnization, Fighting Illini Triathlon. Some crowd control issues on the quad during the run. Swim was well run, given the number of competitors. Lack of information before and following race (email, posting of results, etc.) poor.

  • Comments: First year for this race, so I understand the lack in certain areas. It was a good course and I really enjoyed the competitiveness in my age bracket. 34 girls my age is huge! I'm used to 15 or less. Pretty cool.
