  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

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

  • Comments: This is a really good race put on at a really good venue. Parking is a ways away but they do provide a shuttle, which I've never taken advantage of. It's well put on, well organized and has a more professional feel to it than your normal local sprint triathlon.

  • Comments: Overall, satisfied with my placing on 1st Oly. I met (barely) my biking goal. Well below on swim/run. It's possible my bike might have been a little too fast, but it didn't feel like it at the time. Can't complain about 12/45 in AG and 125/438 overall for 1st Oly. Need better pacing and fitness.

  • Comments: Overall this was a great race! Just a few complaints: 1. After the transition area closed, some racers had a good hour or MORE to wait around for their wave. The only water available was for sale. That's insane. 2. Reverse the swim course! It was really hard sighting because of the sun glare on the lake. Several times I was swimming and had NO idea where I was going. And while we're at it, increase the number of buoys and the number of life guards. 3. The vast majority of the volunteers were amazing!!! There were a few, however, that sat on their corners on their phones, not even looking up as I passed.
