  • Comments: I know what this race company is like, everything on the cheap, cutting corners where they can. However, this is my hometown (or was up until last year) and the very first tri I ever did so it's a nostalgia thing more than anything. Going into this race, I did not rest at all, of the four races I had planned, this was my "D" race. I looked at this as basically just another training day.

  • Comments: Bike racks were AWFUL... for this being the 25th time they have done this triathlon I would have expected it to be more polished! Multiple racks tipped over with bikes hanging on them... not stable and TOO HIGH... bikes were all swinging in the light breeze! Swim entry and exit are really shallow! They do not use USAT Age Up rule for Age Group placement. NCN Racing is due for an upgrade in their process! Not to mention all the non racers in the transition area!

  • Comments: Award ceremony was very unorganized and took a long time. A lot of starting and stopping, checking times, calculating time back to anyone stopped by trains, etc.
