  • Comments: A good race, I was a bit skeptical with Team Ortho being involved but the Swim Storm people seemed to keep them in check and this race remains one of my favorites.

  • Comments: This race is really nice. The vibe is laid back yet organized. The only hiccup, for which blame both the race organizer and my self, is that I started in the wrong wave. They didn't list the Athena group in the swim start schedule, so I went with my age. I should have asked, because I realized when I saw my time that I should have started a wave sooner. They fixed the time, but it was a hassle for the people involved and could have been avoided. Otherwise, this is a great event at a really nice venue. It's for a youth swim club, so lots of kids both racing and volunteering. Very cool!

  • Comments: This is a nice race and overall a good course, except for the run. I just can't believe there aren't some flatter trails going around the lake. ?? But the lake is nice and warm, and the bike course is good with lots of wide shoulders to ride on. Organization was good. We didn't stay for the awards, so I can't comment on that.

  • Comments: This was a very nice race that I'd be happy to do again. The distances were strange though with a short swim and long bike for a "sprint" course. There were lots of volunteers and great spectator support. Aside from funny distances, about the only thing I would like to see different would be one more water stop on the run. Thoroughly enjoyable race, though.

  • Comments: I was very happy with my 15 minute improvement compared to last year! Going in my outward goal was to go sub-1:45. But deep within, I wanted to have a 15 minute improvent. Mission accomplished. Goal for next year? To be right around the 1:30:00 mark. Now the dilemma is how to get there.

  • Comments: Good race, lots of kid volunteers, but they are able bodies to be thrown somewhere. Wish for 1 more water stop headed out of T2, but outside of that, great race.

  • Comments: I liked this challenging course and the RD was responsive to e-mails pre-race, an anomaly. I really wish he'd started awards sooner. The winners must have waited 2 hours. I didn't realize everyone had gotten their stuff packed and removed until I found my bike and one other on a single rack in the former T area. Oh well, next time I will put everything in my car and drive the car back since the parking lot was then available. The race supports the MN Storm swim team so the place was overrun with kid volunteers. They can get a little goofy and loud, but they actually got the job done very well. I would absolutely recommend this race.
