  • Comments: Another excellent event from Bob Vigorito's team, now in its second year. Attracts a wide range of triathletes, and certainly beginner-friendly. The course is no cake-walk, though. I agree with others that it's too bad that the turnout wasn't higher (just shy of 1000), as it was a stunning day, and a fine event. I guess it's unclear what niche this race fits into. It doesn't have the draw for seasoned triathletes that TriColumbia's big races have (Columbia Tri, Eagleman), and it's certainly on the tougher end of the scale relative to other sprint tris, with the 1000m swim, hilly bike course, and mean mile in the middle of the run. I plan to be back, though.

  • Comments: Never any complaints about a CTA race. They make the trains run on time, and it's always a quality experience. Also fun in that this is a tough course for a "sprint" so it's a great lead in for longer distance later in the year.

  • Comments: Was happy with this performance overall. I had secretly hoped to podium in my age group at this race based on looking at last year's times. And sure enough, if I had posted this time last year it would have been good enough for 4th in AG. But the field apparently got a lot faster this year. Oh well, I guess I shouldn't worry about things I can't control, but was still a bit disappointing. This was my first tri ever where I didn't feel like I was about to pass out at the end. This means that either: (1) I am finally getting the hang of this, or (2) I need to push harder on the run. Total time: 2010: 2:01:30 2011: 1:44:56 Well organized race, as usual.

  • Comments: Love this race - it was my 1st. Felt badly for the organizers that the registration numbers were so low, bc it was such a great day. Bummed my favorite tri buddies weren't racing, but having the club & teammates there was just awesome. I felt on top of the world - pretty cool when lumpy middle aged moms can make it on the podium!
