  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This race is put on by a local small race company, so it was much smaller than the events I usually do. But with the smaller field, I think it made it a more friendlier atmosphere and all athletes were very chatty and encouraging! Very well organized, although there was a misspelling on both the race shirt (not gender specific) and trophy.

  • Comments: This was a well organized event with plenty of volunteers. I'd participated in one other race by the organizers, Tri Family Racing, and they do a good job. I look forward to doing this one again next year and moving up in the ranks. More details and other race reports at http://tritoachieve.blogspot.com/2014/03/race-report-3162014-bartle...

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Physically, I don't think I was having my best day. I didn't feel strong in any phase of the race, but did okay despite this. It wasn't a great performance, but wasn't horrible either. And it was great to finally have a reason to go to an awards ceremony to pick up the medal for second place in the Clydesdale division. Tri Family Racing did a good job with the race. Directions were clear, there were plenty of volunteeers, and the aid stations were well stocked. The course is billed as the toughest in Arizona. While there are others that present their own unique challenges, I haven't come across one that is tougher. It lives up to its reputation.

  • Comments: It was a good race. I let fear and socializing (not like me at all) slow me down. I will do this race next year and am confident I will show considerable improvement.

  • Post race activities? Bad
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Only have the two drink stations on the run kinda sucked. By the time I got water, it was already too late. Course was crazy hard. They should either change it or work harder to discourage people from doing it. No way I'd ever do this race again. The organizers were pretty nice & friendly. They did a good pre-race walkthrough and registration went smoothly.
