  • Comments: Plenty of shirts but the goody bags were light. Free beer and food at the end! Very well organized. The only confusing part was the lack of specifying each buoy that was to be lapped for international but good course descriptions online and the packet explained some of this. Clinics and maps provided on site.This was the most organized event I have attended.

  • Comments: Great race setup. I like the time trial start but would prefer it going by age group so you know who to pace with. After race events were nothing spectacular but for the amount of people that races, I feel they had just enough. I couldn't stay for awards because of a family illness and got 3rd place in my age group. I got a prize but I think you have to send them $10 in order for them to send it to them.

  • Comments: Great race! Florida USAT Club Championship. Our club was 2nd in Division 3. We had the 2nd and 3rd overall female (my wife:)) and the 3rd overall male. Also, had a 1st place AG, 2nd place age group and a 3rd place age group. And a few 4th, 5th and 6th place finishes. Not bad for only having 10 representing. Nice venue., organized race, good post race. They also had a drawing for a new road bike (Specialized, I think)

  • Comments: They admittedly had trouble with their timing equipment. I trust my watch. All the times in this RR are per my watch splits, not the race timing. Officially my time was 2:42:52 which is 52 seconds slower than my Oly PR...but by my watch this race is more than 2 minutes better than my PR. With all the problems they were having, I am not gonna trust their timing completely. UGH. But still, it was a fun time, a great race, really pretty venue, and I was satisfied with my performance. I'll do the sprint here next year.

  • Comments: Race #42 Excellent Volunteer staff, organization and post race activity. Had a few issues with the swim orientation, could have been better. I did not find out about 2 loops until 5 minutes from start. Also, rode in a bit of traffic. The roads were not "closed" and traffic was allowed to move. Police was at 2 intersections. Would have preferred a better bike course (away from the trail), a course MAP posted on the web site. Other than that, it was a GREAT Race. I will return with Frank and Fam next year. One final note, AGAIN, I would like to thank my bud Frank C for HELPING me get this far. Without his help, inspiration and company, I would SUCK even more. He is the reason why I have been able to do this Oly in just 15 weeks of being a triathlete. Cudos to you bro- Thanks for the good times!!! He also rocks for kicking ass!!!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: I wonder how it can be that I did so much better than Chicago, which was my "A" race and only 1 1/2 months ago, without a taper or anything. My swim was obviously worse, but the bike and run were better. I think it's the weather. I lost one of my gels right as I started the bike too so I only had one gel the whole race, plus one bottle of water, 3/4 bottle of Gatorade, and the gatorade on the run course. Had Endurox after the race and after my second ride. Thank you Chipmunk Heart for the idea to put the gel between the girls. I put my one gel there after I lost the first one. Very small, disorganized race. After the race I met Sue at the bike trail and we went about 25 miles at an easy pace. Then we headed back to my neighborhood and hopped in the pool. I swam 1000 yards while she watched and gave me some suggestions. It was great. Then we had lunch. Now it is nap time. Oh, Marmadaddy.....gimme my present!!!!
