  • Comments: It was a good race overall. I was happy with my performance as it was a sprint PR for me, but there are still some areas for improvement. I did qualify for Age Group Nationals from this race, so that's a good thing to complete on the first race of the year.

  • Comments: As always a great showing by the TTP folks. The shirts are 10x better this year. I had a great start to the season on the run and I have some areas that were illustrated as needs for improvement. A great learning experience along with a PR by almost 3 min over last year.

  • Comments: Good. A little crowded at some points on the bike with only 3 minutes between decent sized waves on an 11+ mile course. Great volunteers and overall nice course.

Met Tommy's wife, Dee and Karen's husband, Tom, Nora's boyfriend, and Sarah's sister and boyfriend. It was a good day... Life is good...

  • Comments: A great season opener. They always do a great job and there is lots of local talent. Don't kid yourself though, this course is deceptively hilly.

  • Comments: My overall time was about 4 minutes faster than this same race last year, but I was about 4 minutes slower than I wanted to be -- Improvement, just not as much as I'd hoped for -- But, for the first race of the season, I'll give it a B overal...

  • Comments: Challenging for a Sprint. Only my second tri so only can compare to Peachtree City Sprint, which was a little easier (especially the run). Goal was 1:20, so only came 32 seconds short, so overall pretty satisfied.

  • Comments: Excellent race, especially for 500 racers in a smaller park. I figure getting aero will help the bike time, and more running will help the running time. I deviated from my training the couple weeks prior to the race, so that was a bit of a factor too. Overall, I had a great time and a great race. Pics coming.

  • Comments: This is a great race but I thought it was simply too crowded. Transition was a traffic jam. Didn't see a lot of volunteers either. The atmosphere among the participants is always great though, I will definitely be back next year.

  • Comments: Ii was disappointed in the race this year( I thought last year was great.) If I were a novice I would have had no clue where to go what to do. Very few volunteers. I thought transition was crowded! very difficult to get through with the bike. Last year was no problem. I think they need to limit the race to 400. Post race was non existent no info on when times would be posted no announcer, I saw 1 volunteer in the 1/2 hour I was there waiting for the times to be posted.

  • Comments: My first OWS race plus the Tri-series. Definately organized with plenty of friendly volunteers. Will be on my list of preferred races next year, great facilities, never saw a line for the bathrooms (how odd is that) and the overall vibe was pretty cool. Although there were a lot of fast times and racers, there was a great mix of first timers/newbies which kept this a fun race and overall feel.

  • Comments: Great race! My only suggestion would be to have a water stop a 1/4 of a mile or so into run to wash down GU. Thank you All 3 Sports for fixing my flat tire!!!
