• Comments: Halfway through the run I decided that I was going to get a burger later on cause "I DESERVED IT!!!". After the race, it turned out that the post race feast included burgers!! Also, the best grapes and strawberries EVER. Clint was wonderfully thoughtful and brought along a chair to sit in--that was great. I truly enjoy this race, it will always be special, knowing that it was my first ever triathlon. It does help, knowing that I get a discount for every year I complete in this race, but I would still compete regardless. Its well done, and the community really supports it--there are so many residents that will come out and yell support to us--its such a great feeling! I did improve over last year, moving from 5th from last up to 7th from last! Maybe next year I'll break out of the bottom 10...

• Comments: Great and plentiful volunteers. Schwag bag below average. Late start to race due to swim buoy not in position. HIM swimmers were coming back in for their second lap as the Sprint was starting. Had swimmers from both group swimming into the other race in opposite directions.
