  • Comments: Great experience for my first 1/2. Very challenging race but fair except for that beast of a hill in b/w mile 11 and 12. Should provide a mental breakthrough for the upcoming tri races in 2008. Great weekend all around shared with great friends...highly recommend it.

  • Comments: Great race...well organized, contrary to what I read about last year's race. Fair race until Mile 11.5...that hill is brutal for that late in the race, in my humble opinion. The finisher's t-shirt is crap, just like last year...sad. Overall I would give this race an 8 out of 10 and will do it next year!

  • Comments: This really is a great race...tons of volunteers and spectators..I just wasn't ready for it...I think bringing my mp3 player next time would have helped out tremendously.
