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

  • Comments: The course was very hard. I wouldn't recommend this for a beginner. If I hadn't done some Olys last year, I think it would have been much worse for me. Having experience with longer distances, I was able to manage but it was still tough. The race was mostly well-run, though, with good support and great post-race festivities. They even gave out trophies!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I would never do this race again on this course. It was just too dangerous and on too busy streets. I appreciate all the race director did and I also appreciate that he is going to try to move the course next year to make it more safe.

  • Comments: This was a great location and race, the only down side was the organization at turns directing riders which was patchy. I managed to make the turns but I was not going very fast, and I saw a few people go the wrong way. That said, I would definitely recommend and do this race again though, great location and conditions for a season opening race. After 7 days of straight rain the sun finally came out and conditions were close to perfect.

  • Comments: Second ever Tri, and swim portion was 2.5 times my previous race. I was under prepared for swim. The difficulty in the swim had a lasting effect on my performance in both the bike and the run. Overall great event, need to be better prepaired.

  • Comments: Seems to have lost a little steam from last year. Low sponsors and no swag at all. Post race party was ok, but i usually don't hang for long anyway

  • Comments: Overall very good race marred only by lackadaisical volunteer staff at several places. Many did not appear to understand that their guidance -- voice, gestures, etc. -- is crucial to tired athletes who are focusing on going as fast as possible.

  • Comments: I took almost 12 minutes off of my previous time here, so I was really pleased with that....I was 15% slower on the swim, but I was 7% faster on the bike and 8% faster on the run, as far as comparative rankings. Overall, I was in the 43rd percentile, as compared to 31st last time...making progress!! still boggles my mind that someone beat me by almost an hour. 1:20 compared to 2:07. Of course he ran a 16:00 flat 5k at 5:10 pace...holy smokes.

  • Comments: Excellent after festivities and food, although I'm not much for hanging out afterwards. DJ throughout entire event. Massages available. I thought the course was harder than advertised but loved the challange. I would definetly do this event next year.

  • Comments: A really nice event. My biggest concern going in was that the water would be so cold I wouldn't be able to breathe. It turned out to be a non-factor, and it was a blast to be able to take a swim outdoors so early in the season. I had a relaxing time afterwards with Carrie and the Richeys.

  • Comments: I think there were 4 people overseeing the .6 mile swim course. Good luck, if you had an emergency. I don't think the HIM swimmers had too much more oversight either. Race started 1/2 hour late, which threw off my swimming warm up. I ended up getting in the water twice, because I was out of it for so long, I wanted to get used to it again. There also was not a race-day onsite race briefing for routes in and out of transition or anything else for that matter. We got our swim route briefing while in the corral. Everyone was guessing until then.
