• Comments: If I had paid for this race, I would have felt I got my money's worth. The entire event was well-supported, very organized, and FUN! The size of transition is the most overwhelming part. Once you realize you're not racing against 6,000 people at once, it makes the race much smaller and easier to manage mentally. It's basically just the people in your swim wave. Once you're past that, it's much more of an individual experience. I would absolutely do this race again, but next year it'll be the International distance. Happy racing all, thanks for reading!

• Comments: I might want to try the Olympic next year... But I really like that the sprint goes first and gets the best transition racks... Weather was perfect this year. I knocked 19 minutes off my time from last year- mostly off the swim, but a few minutes off T1, bike and run too. I'd like to think that was me getting better but I think it was mostly the lack of crazy waves and wind. Overall very happy with how this race turned out!
