  • Comments: Good race. Actually had a little podium for everyone to stand on. Was pretty neat to get my picture on the #1 spot for my age group. Was ecstatic about that! I just wish awards were sooner after the race. I didn't get home until 1pm for a 6:45am race. The course was hard but good mental toughness builder. Will be doing again next year for sure!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I really enjoyed the feeling of being in a bit of a "big time event". The organization was great and the volunteers were awesome. The course was just a little too hard FOR ME, but it was an awesome challenge. A little bummed they somehow ran out of like pretty much every shirt they had available. The other thing that kind of erked me was the overall post race nutrition. They played up this huge deal that Chipotle was providing post race food... then I hear an announcement that the hot food (the queso cheese) is only for volunteers and the athletes have to eat the (stale) chips with the mango salsa... uhm I don't want healthy right now...get it?! Getting to race on a closed course was really cool and the fact that they had bike support out roaming the roads was really cool. Will definitely do it again this year.

  • Comments: I was eager for my rematch at this race. After finishing it, I am a bit mixed on my review. Last year, I thought the organizers were on the ball. This year, there seemed to be more confusion. Several little things bothered me: - the price of this event was about $35 higher than similar events, just there were some missteps along the way. - they ran out of size L shirts. Seriously...how does this happen? Unacceptable as far as I am concerned. The shirts are nice, but I can't wear it so it's a waste. Small thing, but annoying. - At the finish line, there was water, but all the Gatorade was gone. Fortunately, I found a volunteer who scavenged one for me. Again, how does this happen? I finished middle of the pack...they should not have run out yet. - I appreciate the main sponser providing snacks after the race...but for some reason tortilla chips and a tiny cup of pica wasn't very appealing. Overall, I'm pretty pleased with my race. I feel like I vindicated myself a bit

  • Comments: This was a great race and one I would like to participate in again. The race organizers were excellent and everything seemed very organized. My wife was a spectator and it was a bit difficult for her arriving late, but I don't see much alternative. Great, challenging course. Lot's of fun.

  • Comments: I would rate this race below average for now, but only because of the post race food. Everything else was terrific, but with this hard of a course and the heat, they need to provide much better food for the athletes, especially after paying $100-150 to enter.

  • Comments: This was the first year for the Omaha Tri. It has gotten better since. In 2012, I participated as a motor marshal. I lead the lead biker through the course, and then hauled a marshal to police any possible drafting. It was fun, and the course was different than when I did it. Still had plenty of hills, but seemed like fewer than when I did it.
