  • Comments: I felt like I did OK for my first triathlon. Having practiced all the individual events, I found doing them all together was twice as hard as any of them alone. That was a real shock. I knew it would be tougher, but it's different to experience it. I thought the RD did a good job and the volunteers were great. It was well run and had good snacks, food, etc afterwards. The only critique I have is that I'd like to have the race results posted longer at the race site. I goofed off a bit afterwards only to find the results pulled down about an hour after the finish and didn't see how I did. On the other hand, they posted them online VERY soon...by noon. So, thank you! Also, when signing up I was given the option to sign up as a Clydesdale but was told at packet pickup that the Clydesdale division is only for the Sprint. So, I was not included in the overall rankings. That option needs removed from the registration.

  • Comments: This was a GREAT beginner race. It was very well organized and everyone was very helpful. the distance was perfect for a first timer. it was short enough that i could do it but long enough for me to learn what i need to work on.

  • Comments: I really enjoy the Outloud events, but something just didn't seem right with this one. The speaker system wasn't set up when I finished and they were still getting things organized. The lake is too shallow to swim when there hasn't been much rain and the after-party that I remember enjoying so much last year wasn't there. No Double Daves and no party equals 'BOO', but I will continue to run in Outloud events and will probably do this race again next year to give it another chance.

  • Comments: The venue was nice and all the volunteers were very helpful. I do wish the drink station outside the run start was manned prior to the start of the run so I could have rehydrated before running and I wish the bike trail was better marked because I wasn't the only one who was confused about where to turn.
