  • Comments: Wow... Overall, one of the most fun RACES I have ever had. (Not talking about the race setup, more the actual racing part). The only complaint that I have was the guy I was riding with, a bunch of people said that it turned into a two person paceline when I was leading. I don't appreciate that, especially since he went by me on the run. I know run your own race, but man, if I had drafted, I could have run faster.... just annoying. I made sure I wasn't drafting everytime I was behind him, and to hear that he didn't do the same, well, oh well. I am really happy with how it turned out though. I met and talked to some awesome people after the race and had a great time.

  • Comments: Tornadoes passed t hrough the night before and totallly wrecked all the stuff 3-D set up the night before. They did a great job basically tossing a race together that morning. The run course had to be altered due to trees that fell in the storm.

  • Comments: I enjoy this race and it's for a good cause. I may make it an annual event to start out the tri season. Glad I stuck with the sprint so I could continue with my IM training uninjured.

  • Comments: This is the third year that this race has been Sterling State park and it is really coming together. My only complaint is the half mile of really rough road. Plenty of volunteers, great post race food.

  • Comments: I thought the turn around on the swim got congested with swimmers going in both direction. Even noticed some people cutting the bouy short. Different design

  • Comments: This would be a great course for a HIM if the roads weren't in such bad shape. I plan on trying this on June 8, 2008 for my first HIM provided a good chunk of the course is changed or repaved. Otherwise I will go elsewhere. I liked the Lake Erie swim and the run course though, and there was plenty of parking, bathrooms (if you knew were to go) and space for the transition area.

  • Comments: Great race for a great cause (Racing for Recovery). Last time they had a race at this venue it was pretty bad. They corrected most of the problems and it was an awesome experience. Great post race food and plenty of aid stations out on the course.
