  • Comments: The swim start could have been better organized. They started the slow swimmers first, but it was all self reported so many fast swimmers lied about their time and went in the opening waves. I'm not a good swimmer, but was still in one of the VERY last waves. I got to the event around 6:15, and didn't start swimming until around 9:05. Three hours is a long time to wait for an even that took me roughly an hour!

  • Comments: I categorize this race as a 'fitness' triathlon, which is not a negative description at all, but implies that the field is mostly local people looking to do a tri for the sake of fun and fitness. I enjoy the size and atmosphere of these smaller hometown events and this is a good one without a lot of frills. The race premium (a nice heavy zippered sweatshirt PLUS a standard race T-shirt) is very nice for the $45 race fee. MD State Police support was very good and the organizers and volunteers did a good job with the event. I'd recommend this for anybody looking for a good, local fitness triathlon next fall.
