  • Comments: There were over 1600 people registered for the race. If they all showed, it would have been even more crowded on bike course. Other than that - well organized, well-marked, well-staffed, fun atmostphere. Great first-timers race - very supportive and encouraging. Nice sections at bike turnaround and finishing chute for supporters to cheer on the athletes.

  • Comments: They did run out of food, which is a bummer. I was in the second to last wave, but there should have been enough for everyone. Plenty of very helpful volunteers and amazing women.

  • Comments: There seemed to be less volunteers on the bike course this year, which was a pity, as I enjoyed them a lot last year. They made up for it by providing cool-wet-washcloths for our face and necks DURING the run! That was totally awesome :-D

  • Comments: My goal time was 1:35, but honestly that was a bit of a reach. I knew I could come in under 1:40 easily so I wanted to make my goal under 1:40, and 1:35 was the next round number. My overall time was 1:36:40, so I didn’t make 1:35, but I couldn’t be happier with my time. And the fact that I PRed my run by 1:32 is just awesome!

  • Comments: I wish there were more people to cheer us on. Maybe send some volunteers around the bike course to cheer. Also there were no water stations on the bike, need more water. Washcloths were fantastic though! Great idea!

  • Comments: This was a very interesting race for me. I was looking forward to a fun race to wipe out the debaucle that was Eagleman. My only goal was to have fun. I also wanted to do the bike in less than an hour. I was so honored to be named as a Diamond Girl for women who inspire and received a "lifetime achievement award" as I get to race the Philly Women's Tri free forever. Yippee. Anyone know anyone wanting to get into this game, just have them contact me. We'll start up again in the winter.

  • Comments: This was a very organized, spectator friendly race. Plently of volunteers and drink stations. The course was well marked. The only thing I didn't like was a spot on the bike course where we went over a bridge with some metal parts with ridges. I didn't see anyone have problems with it on my first loop because the course wasn't as crowded, but there were 5 people on the side of the bridge during the second loop. I'll bet they had problems when their tires hit that metal part. I didn't have any problems because I was uber cautious (of course!!) when I crossed over it :) This was my 2nd tri and I tried to go through it with a "push it" mentality instead of a "just get through it" mentality like I had during my first race. Hopefully I'll continue to improve!
