  • Comments: Overall I had a great time at this race. It gave me a good idea of how the sport works and the things I really need to work on to improve next time. I was happy with how positive I stayed even when I tanked on the run.

  • Comments: Liked this race, not too sure about the pool swim format, but will likely try the same race next year. Was a lot of fun! Any time there are people amassed wearing tight fitting clothing is a good time!

  • Comments: -this was my first Triathlon and I didnt know exactly what to expect. -It was very difficult but I enjoyed it very much -Need a training plan that will emphasize the bike/run portions since I have been competitively swimming with a year of varsity experience for a very long time, and had acheived national standards in the 1500m freestyle

  • Comments: This is the first year I have done this race and despite the poor weather conditions it was excellent. I have to say the volunteers were great, being out there despite the crappy weather and cheering us on. Fantastic stuff.

  • Comments: Started about 20mins late, and with the heats running the way they do, and not DQing swimmers that don't make the 40min cutoff, there were inevitable delays. Otherwise well laid out, lots of vollies giving directions and cheering you along. Security in transition was excellent, for which I was very impressed and grateful. Other than it snowing in the days before, which enforced me to taper, the weather wasn't too unpleasant, the road was dry in most places for the bike and run, just the wind had a bit of a bite, but I've been conditioning myself for that riding into work each day, so it wasn't too much of a shock to the system. Definitely happy with the race and how I felt afterwards, good start to the season.
