  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Would do it again next year. Wish the swim starter had his own sound system instead of a megaphone.

Every time I do a timed 5k I end up right around 38 minutes whether I've been running recently, or not for weeks.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: did the experience - only way to do it. no long walks, place to sit, water, pop, food available. found i was able to do it - really didn't think that i would. swim was more difficult than i ever could imagine. ride was easier than i ever could imagine. run was about what i expected. took the ride and the run way too easy. under the circumstances, i did what i had to do to make sure that i finished.
