  • Comments: Excellent race venue, very well run and a nice course. I knew I wouldn't rank well at this race because it is a qualifying race for age group nationals and people faster than me show up. I did the sprint here last year and did place well because all the fast people did the Olympic. My time today would have landed me at 3/11 in my first Oly (in May). I would have needed a 2:40 to be top half today and I'm just not that fast. With more training I should be able to get there.

  • Comments: I decided to forgoe the run and it was a good thing. I could hardly walk all day Sunday and Monday was very sore as well. First DNF but I think I made the right decision considering I have IMWI in less than 2 months.

  • Comments: Definitely a great experience for me. Loved the race and all the volunteers. The course was fantastic. Would have liked a little cloud cover, but the race officials couldn't really do anything about that.

  • Comments: I will be doing this race next year. I have friends in the area and this is a great excuse to visit for a weekend. It was well run and the course was great. I definitely want to do this again. I have to look at my results again. My swim pace says 2:47/100 but the time says 44 minutes. The volunteers said we were at 37 minutes when I got out of the water which would make sense of the 2:47 pace. I'm confused. I estimated most of the results right now. I don't have my time slip on me and don't have official results yet.

  • Comments: Very well organized, good music, lots of friendly volunteers, good security around transition. They could have used 1 or 2 more water stations on the run course, but there was plenty of food and drink at the finish.

  • Comments: Great Race and despite all my effort for a good race on paper it was horrific but I learned you can have a bad race and still finish strong and reap the rewards for your effort. I take it for what it is and start looking to what i did wrong and improve on it

  • Comments: Holy cow, there were alot of really fast racers. I never be a pro, but the 2 other races I had completed did not prepare me for the speed. I was actually in the top third of the last Sprint race I did, so I am really taking this performance hard. Great race, will be back next year and I will definitely do better.

  • Comments: For my first tri I thought this was a nice race. Of course I have nothing to judge it on, but I didn't see anything lacking that I needed. The swim could definately be improved. The exit area was just too small and the sprint finishers were leaving at the same time as the olympic finishers which made it very crowded. Hey I am not going to complain too much. It was my first triathlon and my bike kicked @$$!!!!

  • Comments: Colleen Klein and the Tri-Sharks really put on a couple great events this year. I will be back for both next year........if the wkds work out............and hopefully, with 2 PRs. The positives from Saturday: 1. I FINISHED 2. I was not DFL (Dead Fing Last)....but I was DC (Damn Close!) 3. I am one step closer to my ultimate goal of becoming an IRONMAN in 2010. 4. I never felt like I was not going to finish and never wanted to quit.

  • Comments: Good race; very organized. The bike course was very rough, but well-marked. There were a ton of volunteers everywhere on the course. It was impossible to take a wrong turn and there was plenty of water/gatorade.

  • Comments: I assume there was a strong field given that it was the Mideast AG qualifier for Nationals. I'm not sure if I did well or not. Thought I left about 6 or 7 minutes out there.

  • Comments: This event was very well organized and well run. My only concern was that bike in/out and run in/out was all within 10 feet of each other, making for lots of confusion for many of the competitors.

  • Comments: An absolutely wonderful race! The course was well layed out and is a very attractive area. The lake, though murky is calm and warm. There were not too many people in each wave. The swim course was well marked and there were plenty of volunteers. A perfect lake for those timid about open water swimming, but great for those who want to put in a fast swim time. The bike course was smooth and well managed with great volunteers at every turn. The scenery gets tiring on the bike though (corn and lots of it) The run course was great with enthusiastic volunteers at all the water/gatorade stations which are a mile apart. Both the gatorade and water were ice cold which is great. The finish area was terrific, with volunteers handing out cold towels and power ade at the finish. There was also tons of great food at the finish. A TERRIFIC TRIATHLON FOR EVERYONE FROM BEGINNERS TO THE EXPERIENCED.

  • Comments: This was the second year for this race. The RD runs a sprint in June that sells out in 1 day with a lot of out-of-town interest. I know why now!
