  • Comments: This years race was not as good as last year. Prior to the start the announcer was having to tell people to get out of the transition area more than a few times. The post race food was gross. I really wanted sugar and pizza and all they had was some kind of healthy rice mixture, TLC cookies and bananas, half bagels, fruit punch/water. YUCK!!!! The good thing was they gave us our finish times on a nice card. We left fast for a nice juicy burger!!!!

  • Comments: Improved by 20 minutes over last year, so I'm very happy with my performance. For the first time, I felt relaxed and confident throughout instead of anxious and jittery. I didn't let anything bother me and I smiled the whole time. 2007 - 2:27:22.50 2008 - 2:07:32.90 Great race atmosphere and lots of volunteers. Tons of first-time triathletes which was exciting. The weather was just perfect, and it was a great time.

  • Comments: This race is so well-run and well-organized, you just can't overstate it. Every athlete is treated like a superstar at this race. I mean, it's huge, so transition is crowded, but what are you going to do? The schwag we got from Aflac was cool: stuffed duck, small sports towel, Hawaiian leis, sponges, etc. They're a great race sponsor.

  • Comments: I love this race and hope to do it *every* year as long as I am able! My time from last year was a huge improvement. Last year I was 2:04:50 so 6 minutes and change taken off ... a better swim (though still not as good as the first year) ... a minute or so off the bike, two minutes off the run and good transitions. I need to get better in T1 but part of that is constantly having eye issues. So, for next year the swim is my focus yet again. I'm really getting tired off focusing on the swim!!

  • Comments: I had done one small tri earlier this year and this was my "big" race. It was truly amazing. Lots of participants, tons of spectators including lots of kids rooting on their Moms. Everyone is positive and encouraging.
