  • Comments: This was my first time at Island Lake and everything I heard was spot on. Besides that nasty first hill on the run and a few weeds in the lake, I loved the course. Not much Element could do about the early fog and they put our safety first. There were tons of volunteers there, packet pick up and marking was a breeze, transition area worked well...as a new triathlete I felt at ease and the setup made it easy to know exactly where to go. Wasn't terribly impressed with the post race meal and a finisher's medal would have been a cool touch, but all in all, Element did a great job!

  • Comments: I was bummed because my goal for this race was to be in the top 3 females....and I DID IT! I was 3rd female overall! BT still doesn't have a place for gender results. The bummed part was that this RD doesn't recognize 2nd and 3rd overall, just 1st in each gender. However, I did win something I hadn't even considered and didn't know was presented and that was the #1 FEMALE MASTERS!! This whole being 40 (technically not for a few more months) thing is not so bad!

  • Comments: All in all, I was proud of myself for still hanging in there and getting it done despite the lost chip and lost time. At least this leaves me a big opportunity to PR this course again when they have the 2nd race of the year in August

  • Comments: A few weeks ago I wasn't sure whether I wanted a May or June triathlon, and I was actually leaning towards June... I'm glad I chose this one! This was my second time doing the Island Lake Triathlon, and I find it to be a friendly atmosphere. I didn't feel like there were too many or too few people, both on the course and before/after the event. Also lots of volunteers around. Oh and I like the t-shirt. That is important. ;) Island Lake Triathlon: 2010: 20:16 - 2:21 - 43:15 - 1:14 - 25:47 = 1:32:52 2012: 16:57 - 2:01 - 43:17 - 0:53 - 23:45 = 1:26:50

  • Comments: Great race put on by Element Events. If there's one or two things that they could change to make better I think they could change the awards. Even if I was over 21 I would rather get a medal than a bottle of wine. Also, maybe they could have a separate sprint & oly transition area, since it kind of sucked not being able to get to my warm clothes and training shoes when I was done with the race.

  • Comments: I am really happy to have made this my first triathlon! Great atmosphere, and it seemed like there were people of varied abilities. It was comforting knowing there were other novices as well. Also, I had heard someone make the comment of there being a lot of 20-somethings and younger. I especially thought it was great seeing the little kids out there doing a tri!
