  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was my first triathlon. I was told that I picked a big one for my first, but I would not do it any other way. The volunteers were amazing. I think that I only finished because of them. Though I do not know why my chip did not record all of my splits.

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This is a good event, and I like that the organizers go out of their way to warn beginners of the dangers of open water swimming. The event is well organized, and everything runs on time. If I have any criticism, it's just that the expo really isn't one. For the way the rest of the event is run, it would be nice to have more than 1 vendor.

  • Comments: 2 minutes faster PR achieved by gaining over 5 minutes in the swim, despite being off course, and better transitions offset by 1 extra minute on bike and 4 extra minutes in the run. Small, intimate race with stiff competition. The hills keep the less committed away. Very well run and a lot of fun.

  • Comments: Good race, challenging bike and great swimming venue as it's the nicest place to swim for any Tri. The post race activities and food were not as good this year compared to others. The food in general was limited which seems to be a problem with most Tri's.
