  • Comments: I liked this race a lot for the venue and would do it again. I'm drawn to the slightly smaller towns with a medium sized field. The venue, the lake, and the scenery on the bike and run were all pluses. The one negative was the crowded field on the bike, so maybe having one loop for olympic would be a better alternative.

  • Comments: I heard bad things about the crowds going into this race. Were there a lot of people? Heck yeah. Did it slow me down? I don't think so. Overall, it was a good alternative for an early-season race.

  • Comments: Very well run race, things seemed to go right on time and very smooth. You could tell they've been doing this race for quite a few years. Plenty of drink stations on the run with water, gatorade and Gu, which I applaud. Alot of people griped about the bike course being too crowded, but I'm often leading the pack of complainers and I thought it was fine. I'll be back again next year, looking to shave 15 minutes off my time.

  • Comments: Cannot say enough about the volunteers. Even though I was way back-of-the- pack, those yellow shirts were always ringing their bells and shouting encouragement when I went by on the bike. And on the swim, a couple of times I stopped because I thought they were yelling something at me but they were shouting encouragement. And on the run, when I stopped to walk, they got on my case - haha

  • Comments: This was right up there with the most fun I've ever had competing in any form of sports or races. The volunteers were amazing all day, including the ones who served our meal (to 1500 racers).

  • Comments: Over all, i was so happy with the race. We will do it again next year! I was worried about the bike course and the 1500 racers, but it was totally manageable. I think that is due to the plethora of volunteers and police officers. They really new what they were doing and I felt completely safe and at ease the whole time. THis is a well organized race with a very WIDE range of competitors in all shapes, sizes and abilities. I dont have lot of experience with races (yet) but this was very good
