  • Comments: Great local race. Lots of volunteers. I highly recommend this race to anyone. The snake swim went smoothly. The bike course was well manned especially for all of the turns. The kids race was fabulous. There were 155 kids racing - 2 more than the adult race. A wonderful family event.

  • Comments: For my first time doing a tri in about 18 years, I can't be too upset. I have alot of room for improvement and feel my next one will be much better. The event was very nice (although there was a bike rack missing in the transition area that created some confusion) and the volunteers were great. My family commented that I "looked great" at the end of the run. Clearly I had a some in the tank and I was dogging it at the end. Goal time going in was 1:30, and even though I missed the time, I still had a wonderful experience.

  • Comments: Overall, not bad for my first race. I was surprised to be 3rd out of 11 in my AG and 17th out of 76 overall on the swim because I've never done laps until the last two months. I was disappointed to finish 9th out of 11th on the bike. I thought I'd be relatively stronger on the bike than the swim. The run went well. As expected, the first half mile was unpleasant, but I found a groove and ran a decent 5k. Overall, I was 6th out of 11 in my AG. I lost by 13 seconds overall to two other racers who beat me by 29 and 34 seconds in total transition time. I guess I need to spend more time practicing transitions and less time running and swimming!
