  • Comments: Nice race - good perks. Course is well done, but not closed to traffic - be careful. Run course is good, but would like gel pks at 1 station. Post race isn't fancy, few fruits and chips and drinks. I'm planning on coming back in 2009

  • Comments: I wish they would have had an additional water stop at the turnaround on the run. There was one aid station without gatorade too, when I really needed it. Other than that it was a great race and very well run.

  • Comments: Good race with a fairly nice setting. Unless I missed it there wasn't really a race meeting at all. Pre race check in is kind of a pain having to drive somewhere else besides the going to the course. Furthest road on the bike is in very bad condition. I think it's a WI/IL border road so that's probably why it gets ignored. It's a good race though and I would think I'll do it again.

  • Comments: I switched from the Olympic to the Sprint due to groin injury. Really am glad I did. Hope this helps for Elkhart next week.The timing system was off by 3 minutes.Race distance off... I did all my report based on my watch splits. Award ceremony took forever to start, but then very rapid. They forgot all about Athena/Clydsdale, I want up 3 times and asked about it. They FINALLY did it probably 10-15 minutes after the rest were done. (I wasn't about to let a fellow donkey not get her award!!!) Nice course, fairly well run, save the one busy intersection that had NO ONE stationed at it!

  • Comments: Even though this is an overall fun race that I'd definitely do again, I'd like to see a few things change: Better food...all there was was bananas, chips and pretzels. And water (no gatorade post race). Gatorade (or something like it) at both aid stations on the run, not just one. Add a fluid station to the Oly bike course. Add a timing mat at the beginning of the second lap of the Oly, so splits are available and no cheating (apparently a few people didn't run the second lap, although I can see how it could have been confusing. I was confused). On the plus side, TONS of friendly, knowledgable volunteers, organization was very good, and the locale can't be beat.
