  • Comments: Great race (B race for me). Constructive criticism: More organized body-marking. Body-marking locations not clearly marked. Some lines were as long as 100 people. Some lines had 5. Wished I had known we could enter transition area WITHOUT body-marking. Would have reduced my stress level. I would've come back to body-marking after transition set-up. Overall, great course. Beautiful bike course, especially along and over the river. Will do again next year if I don't have to pay for the entry fee (sponsored this year). $125 - 150 is a bit much...:)

  • Comments: My age group is probably the toughest now. 30-39 Clydesdales. I was only 15 min off the top 5 grouping. I was 34 minutes from 1st place. The winner was really nice. He racked his bike next to mine. He was 34 and weighed 210lbs. He did great, but if I were to add 65lbs to him, I could beat him. I am going to really focus on diet and training and place in the top 5 next year along with my buddy John, who had a poor event due to a newborn baby, moving home to MN from Michigan, and starting a new job. Next year we will do great and push each other.

  • Comments: I will comment that the race was on time for me... I am hearing that later waves were not out anywhere near to on time and that would make sense since I didn't see a single Short Course runner on the course while I was running! Everything went very well for me. (My wife's timing was all messed up, they had her in the water for 8:41:23 - she would have had to have started a little after midnight)

  • Comments: This is a super fun race to do if you are looking for a triathlon in the Upper Midwest. The number of racers and spectators is just amazing. Be prepared for a ton of people on the race course.
