  • Comments: First Tri, it was fantastic, the whole experience was great. Expo was really good, pick-up was no hassle, even trnasition with all the people was not a problem. Will attempt the olympic next year. Only bummer was first mile of the run, too much open space and no one around(it was strange to be alone considering the amount of people in the race). One other phenomenal feature was the trakcing for your spectactors, the text messages helped my spectators know where I was.

  • Comments: Very nice volunteers. I would extend the stairs on the swim exit further into the water. There was a run between the run and transition during the first part there was padding on the ground then there wasnt and there were a lot of rocks and crevices. It would have been better to continue the padding on all of the cement part. The running on the grass was good but on the cement without padding,it was very bad. The volunteers in the first aid tent were very very nice. The medal is awesome!!!! Very nice and lots of color and a place to engrave name and time on back. The racers were nice too. After I recived the medal there was a little boy volunteering and handing out cups of Gatoraide, He was soo sweet. Afterwards there was a party with live music and lunch. After that there was a drawing for prizes, I thought how awesome is this!!!! I never win anything though. I had a fun time. Yes, I would do this race again! Hopefully next year and I hope to train and race in a group. It is more fun

  • Comments: This was originally my A race. But after I got there, I just decided to have fun. I'm going to do it again next year, but I think next year, this will be my Oly bump race. That way, there is no pressure to improve from this year, I will just have fun, all over again.

  • Comments: Very, very organized event. Can't wait to do it again next year! I'll have to shoot for under 1:30 For my first triathlon...I was thrilled at my results. I told my self, under 2:00 would fine...1:45 would be great. Finishing in 1:38:32 was amazing!! It was great to have family cheering me on. My wife follow me on the seawall during the swim. My parents, sister, and brother-in-law (along with my wife) were there during the run with hand made signs in hand. I am now a triathlete!!
