  • Comments: This was my wife and friend's first triathlon so I just used this as a training day. Of utmost importance was seeing my wife exit the water and cross the finish line so I spent a ton of time "in transition". I was definitely pleased with my performance in each of the disciplines though. I mirror the sentiments of other racers that the bike/run courses were very congested and, at times, dangerous. I can't tell you how many times there were people biking or running down a middle where there was no room to pass on either side. Seriously! How hard can it be! I'm surprised there weren't any accidents because of it. Oh well. I emerged unscathed.

  • Comments: Hard to rate this race. The venue itself is awesome but the overlap of the sprint and Oly courses is starting to get dangerous with 1,500 people. I've enjoyed this race the past 3 years but will have to think hard about whether I want to do it in 2010.

  • Comments: I really like this race but I do think they need to spend a bit more time providing guidance to all the newbies, especially as it relates to the bike. I do think it's great that they are out there but they need to explain how to stay right, etc.

  • Comments: Aside from the gobs of bikers and runners along the sprint course, this is a great race, one that I am really looking forward to doing in the future.

  • Comments: I had done a bunch of races in this series last year but missed this race. It was my first olympic distance and I loved it! Great competition, too... there were some fast mofos out there. The volunteers were awesome. I'd say this was a first-class race. I'd do it again in a heartbeat!

  • Comments: For my first triathlon this race was great! I like the feel of "bigger" events and races and this is definitely on the larger side.

  • Comments: I really did like this race a lot. I am absolutely pumped about my time. As with all my races I am training through them and was pretty worried how this would go on friday. My legs were completely dead 36 hours before the race and I figured it might be a struggle. One days rest really helped out and I couldn't be happier. I now have a 7 week lay-off before HOLT to strictly concentrate on IMMOO training.

  • Comments: I really like this race. There are some things that come with so many competitors - Tough transition spots, congestion on the bike, long line for bbq. But, I really like it anyway. I haven't been to another race with so much stuff given to you at check-in, and so many great triathletes with such a range of abilities. It's really good for the sport!

  • Comments: I'm a firm believer in "you take what the day gives you" and you make no excuses. I was determined to finish the race and didn't feel sorry for myself. I was glad to have finished and pulled off a top 10 run split overall. So, the day wasn't a total loss and I'll be able to draw from today's performance/experience in future races.

  • Comments: i would do this race again, for sure. i have to say, it was liberating. i went into it just wanting to finish, and in a way, it brought back the feelings i had at my first tri. i really was happy JUST to finish. having placed at a few races, i can feel myself get more and more competitive about times. it was nice to let go of that for a day. since this season has been a bit rocky so far, i'm glad to have been able to make that mental shift. it will be important for me to focus on my body and my own race when i do my first 1/2 IM. this race became a training race in a totally different way than i had planned - mental training - and i think that is a very very good thing.
