  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It was $100, so there wasn't a lot of expectations here. But the lack of post race food, or lack of having it obvious was pretty bad. Volunteers were great, the 16 aid stations on the run were a lifesaver. Hats off to the other athletes though. So encouraging, especially when all I could do was nod or whisper thanks.

  • Comments: Even though I had an awful race, I'm still pretty proud that I finished a 70.3 in my first year of triathlons. And I placed in my AG, with a time that was over 30 minutes slower than my projected time. Bigger and better things to come in the future, as well as better decision making. The course is a great course, and HFP is a solid company. I look forward to racing here next year.

  • Comments: I love HFP races because they are able to keep the cost low for the common man like myself. A few small suggestions however: Port-o-john on the bike course, better mile markers on the run course, cold sponges on the run. Otherwise, a well done race by a class act organization!
