  • Comments: It was a really well organized race. Volunteers were plentiful. Course felt really safe. Post race there was one water station at the end of the race. Had to keep going back for a cup of water. Would have been nice to have more water stations at the end. Food was a breakfast burrito. I didn't really care for it - I didn't want a spicy, cheese, gooey lump of food after working so hard. Gear West's Kevin O'Connor was grilling hot dogs - those hit the spot. After the race I was exhausted and had a horrible headache. I took a half hour nap in the afternoon but still couldn't keep my eyes open after dinner. The headache lasted into Sunday. I think both are related to over doing. Note 3 women in my age group were in the top 7 of overall non-elite women. How cool is that??

  • Comments: The course is very fast - the lake is nice - All very safe and well organised. Definitely would recommend this race to anyone looking for a fun Tri - I enjoyed the course and the the other competitors were great. It was a lot less mentally challenging than Buffalo due to the course being much less crowded. Post race - lots of happy people and shady areas to relax. Food was only OK although I had heard great things about the breakfast burritos I can't say I enjoyed them - pretty gooey and not much flavor. We were saved by Kevin O'Connor's hot dogs.
