  • Comments: Overall a great race that's close to home with lots of friends and teammates. We had a blast despite the weather. The organizers do a wonderful job and there are plenty of volunteers, though they can always use more. I spent a few hours the day before setting up transition and think the banked karma helped me on race day!

  • Comments: Great race! The volunteers were friendly and helpful and there was plenty of aide on the run. The food at the end was great as well. Only thing I can think of is checking the distances because I felt like I should have been around 2:10 with how I performed today.

  • Comments: Post race results quicker on-line and change to the software that allows you to print your specific data. Due to the limitations of the transition area space, I would have liked to see them keep ALL non racers out -in my rack alone there were more non-athletes hanging around during and after the race. Congrats to the GR TRI team for a great event. If it continues, will step up and attempt 1/2 in future.
