  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I only rated the post race activities as below average because some of the tents were breaking down early which did not allow you to check anything out post race. I really enjoyed this race and the experience that I gained from it. It was well organized and run. Props to those who helped! This is an AWESOME race for experienced Triathletes, but for new comers I believe it would be easy to become over-whelmed. There are a lot of fast athletes in this race and the timing of it early in the season does not lend itself to a lot of OWS practice. I will do this race again if I have the opportunity. P.S. I got to see Sister Madonna. I wish I would have brought a camera!

  • Comments: This was my first time at this race. I was really impressed with the organization. It went off without a hitch. You would never know that there were close to 1700 people racing. It may be a bit far to drive for me to do it again, but I'm glad I made it to Memphis at least once.

  • Comments: Not the most qualified to comment on this race since it was my first, but it seemed to be very orgainzed and well run. I think I am addicted though to the triathlon scene. I need to tell the wife to hide the checkbook and credit cards :)!

  • Comments: As always, this is a very well-organized, very well-run event. I, on the other hand, did not run very well.

  • Comments: Nutrition/hydration about right. Had light bkfst about 2 hr before race, GU 20 min before swim, drank about 50 oz Gatorade on bike ride (camelbak) and had one GU on bike, then water or gatorade at the aid stations on the run.

  • Comments: I didn't hang around for any of the post race activities, but from what I saw they seemed nice. This was my first race, and I'm really glad I did it. I'll be back next year to crush my time, and I'll be bringing some friends!

  • Comments: Once again,this was a great race. Especially to be so big, everything runs so smoothly. Expo was great, set up was smooth. Race went off without a hitch. Tons of volunteers, cops to keep traffic away and direct traffic, water stations every mile on the run, and great post-race spread. My only gripe was they did away with the water bottle exchange on the bike. It probably wouldn't have bothered me at all if I hadn't had my water bottle snafu and was out of water by the spot where they've had it in the past
