  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I did not like this course was split. It caused too much confusion. The run course was not clearly marked and not enough volunteers to direct people. Some people cut the course early because they didn't take the correct turn. Will not do this race again. But all that being said, I still had fun and was happy with a gold medal in my age group. :)

  • Comments: Blue Sky Sports put on a great race. The course was well marked and the volunteers were very supportive. The race is a bit unusual for a tri with the swim, bike, run, bike, run format but was still well orchestrated. They need to work out some kinks with the timing system and get the awards done faster. They actually handed out awards to a few people and then took them back after realizing the results weren't correct. Overall, I really enjoyed the race and I'm happy I got second in my age group, but I am critical of the race I had because my performance really should have been better.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. Was glad I was able to get into the water and practice swim prior to the race start. I am very pleased that I overcame my fear of OWS and was able to do the swim in great time and pass a few people in my wave and not be one of the last people out of the water. I was worried about this race being so close to FL 70.3 but I am very glad I did it because it gave me the confidence boost that I needed for the Swim. I learned that I need to get in the water prior to the start and get use to it and become comfortable prior to the gun going off. Last Sprint I did a few weeks ago I came in Last in my Age group, huge improvement here coming in 5 out of 15.
