  • Comments: This is a great race. It's pretty big (3000) participants so it's a good idea to plan ahead for parking and other things that take a little extra time. But it's a great venue and a I though a great event.

  • Comments: This is my second year doing South Beach and I plan to continue the tradition. It's a great early season race for us northerners and a reason to make it down south in early spring. I know not everyone loves the scene down there, but I do. I love Ocean Drive and the beach. It was great to relax the afternoon of the race and then follow that up with some cocktails in the evening. If you enjoy good nightlife, the sun and triathlons, South Beach is a great destination race.

  • Comments: While the race was really cool, that was mostly because it was something new, in a new place, and large considering what other races I have done. What both my family and I noticed, however, was there was not much enthusiasm from the spectators. They would watch and make comments, but no really cheering or shouts of encouragement unless they knew an athlete. That is so much different that our experiences in tri's in northern michigan. My wife did say that one really neat thing was she would shout encouragement to athletes as they came by, and a gentleman behind here would yell the same thing, only in spanish! I thanked every volunteer I saw, and they all seemed surprised and often smiled and thanked me back. Considering the heat, traffic, and number of athletes, these folks couldn't have been thanked enough. The race director also did an awesome job, as everything seemed well thought out and coordinated. This must be a tough event to pull off, with all the traffic, people, and

  • Comments: Nice course if the field were limited to half of what it was it would have been perfect. The course is too narrow for that many people, but a beautiful race with perfect weather.

  • Comments: The course was well marked. Plenty of volunteers. Large buoys. Lots of cones. Many police blocking off intersections. Bottle exchange on the bike though I didn't have a place to put it since my bike only fits a 16oz bottle. Run well coned and marked. Lots of volunteers offering drinks. Good festivities at the end. Overall good experience for my first olympic. Plan on doing 3 others this year and getting faster at each.

  • Comments: I would like to see a portolet on the run at somepoint. The water at all but one station was warm-hot so that was not good. A cotton shirt at an event this size was a disappointment, but a nice hat. I really had a great time, other than the run. The event was fun and the crowd was nice. The volunteers were good as well. Would love to do this race in the future to try and finish where I expected. There were a few times I thought that I was not going to finish, my body was overheating and shutting down, glad I got through it...

  • Comments: Well-organized with plenty of volunteers; frustrated my results have not been posted/ registered--if my timing chip was bad, how can this be avoided in the future (unacceptable).

  • Comments: I liked this race. Bigger than many of the other ones I do, but it was well organized and well run. Really neat to race on the same course with pros. I liked the hills, but I need to work on them A LOT. As a group, I think we were all pretty happy. My biggest complaint...WHERE WERE THE DAMN COOKIES. When I race, I want a cheesy medal and some freaking chocolate chip cookies! I like a banana as much as the next guy, but I want a cookie.
