Comments: This was a PR race for me, and I was happy that I went faster than I was hoping to. Coming in I was shooting to 59 minutes or better, and I thought I had a far shot to go sub 58. I was happy to win M30-34, but looking at the results it seems like luck since most of the other AG winners (20-24, 25-29, 35-39, etc) were 53-55 minutes. My run training has definitely helped, and my bike tweaks and improvements are very noticeable. Although I was over 4 minutes faster than last year (which was almost 4 minutes faster than 2011), my overall placement has remained about the same over the past 3 years - everyone else is getting faster, too!! I did miss a top 10 by a mere :30, so I'll have that as motivation for next time! This is a still a fun, challenging, local race for me. I really like the bike course, and the swim facility is top notch. I do wish Setup would scrap the gravel portion of the run, though. There's always next year!

Comments: Set up does a great job. Granite Falls Athletic Club was very nice. The volunteers were great. I would run this race again.

Comments: Good race by the Setup group. This is a hilly, challenging race, but that makes it enjoyable to me. The race personnel are very friendly and helpful and the course workers did an excellent job as well. My only suggestion would be the re-routing of the run course to eliminate the long gravel road, because it just seems too loose and invites a twisted ankle or falling down a steep gravel hill.

Comments: This was my third tri and my first Setup race. I though everyone was very friendly - both the other racers and the event staff. The Granite Falls facility is very nice, and the race course was tough and challenging. I liked how they were pumping out the good music in the transition area. I hope they host this race again next year.
