  • Comments: My only complaint is that many of the roads on the bike course weren't closed. This made for some dicey riding at times.

  • Comments: This was my first Rev 3 race and it was good. It was a little more amped up due to their also being a Full distance going on at the same time. Still not WTC quality, but getting there. There were pros on site, but I think most of the big names were in Las Vagas for the World Champs that were the same weekend. Regarless Cedar Point is a great venue for a race, the roller coaster lineup is legendary.

  • Comments: This was my first Rev3 event. I am very pleased with the race production, logistics, transition, etc. The volunteers were great in Cedar Point and despite starting a little late, the race was very well run. I'm looking forward to Rev3 Anderson, SC and maybe one or two of their races next year.

  • Comments: Excellent job by the Rev3 Team! Race support and volunteers were definitely top-notch! Finish line activities were great. My only critiques were the layout of the run course, and the poor post-race food. The run course would cause me to hesitate on another race at Cedar Point but I was very pleased with Rev3 overall and will be looking at their other races next year.

  • Comments: Rev3 is a great company - what they did to honor 9/11 was awesome and their coordination with RWB was phenomenal. The bike course roads in and out of the park sucked - but that's not their fault. Everything they did was great except for the post race food - that was BAD. But really everything else was great.

  • Comments: Overall, I love REV3. Working with them was awesome. They bring a big race atmosphere to it, but totally without the tension I've felt at IM branded events. Are there ares for improvement? Sure, there are. But the great thing is, they are open to those suggestions. I will send some of them in because I look forward to seeing them grow. This course is really the right type of course for me, and I'd definitely consider doing the Full REV out there someday. I look forward to doing more REV3 events in the future. I appreciated the special touches they added for the 9/11 Anniversary. Truly, the people that run REV3 are awesome. I highly encourage people to do their races, and if you have suggestions to make them better, let them know...cause likely they'll do it. They have more than won me over.

  • Comments: I PR'ed by 8 minutes from last year Got to hang with BT peeps before during and after the race I like the course (although the monotony of the middle six miles on the run is tough on the brain) Some minor negatives - Cedar Point backing out on tickets, running out of shirts and visors , lack of good recovery area for athletes Positives- Close geographically , organized, lots of local people, supports Ohio , well set up for families if you wish to bring people

  • Comments: Here's the prayer list for the day: Calm waters-- done. No rain on the bike-- done. No major bike issues-- done. Run the entire race-- done. Other personal issues-- done. God even put a cherry on the top of the day with a 4th/3rd place finish!!! What's that you ask? I placed 4th, but, since the top female was in my age group, she was removed and the rest of us were bumped up one place!!!!! I podiumed!!!!! I podiumed my entire season!!! I can't believe it!!!! As I walked back to the car, the ladies from breakfast remembered me. As it turns out, both of them made the podium, too! How about that!!!! (And I think I'll be back next year!)

  • Comments: Great race. I was extremely pleased with my performance. My goal was to beat 6 hours and I did that by 35 minutes. Being my first HIM in my first eason of triathlons, I couldn't have been happier and had more fun...except my legs holding on a little more. I had a lot of fun and my effort level was high and I stayed mentally focused.
