  • Comments: This was the first time I've ever put together a good all-around race. Solid swim, bike, run. Good transitions. I feel energized by my success and am ready to start training for next season. Imagine if I actually stick to a training plan. I might actually be competitive at one of these things some day!

  • Comments: The Purdue Triathlon Club did an awesome job on this race!! I was skeptical going in because of negative past reviews, but these kids blew the race right out of the water! They did a super job!! If I'm not doing a half-iron at this time next year, I will definitely do this race again!

  • Comments: Hmmm, well. I went to pick up my packet on Friday afternoon but they didn't really have things ready. I signed my waiver and got my cap but that was it. I still had to go back to packet pick up on Saturday to get my shirt, by race number and my chip. Not a big deal in the long run, but a bit of an annoyance. They made up for it with great on-course race direction. I was a bit worried going in because there are so many twists and turns on both the bike and the run but they had volunteers everywhere! Not just at turns either, but also along straight-aways at little podunk road intersections that I cannot imagine anyone thinking they should be turning down.
