  • Comments: Did this as a relay in 2003. Noticed a definite deficiency in Volunteers. Felt badly for the real first-timers. Plus the fact they were going to start the awards at 10:00 before the last finisher crossed the line seemed strange to me considering the kind of event it is. Technical tee's were nice, if you < 130 lbs. Seriously... the xxl's were like mediums. No on-site handicapped parking either..

  • Comments: Volunteers were awesome. I would not have been able to finish the race without them. I loved the course but I think that the race was very crowded.

  • Comments: This was my first Tri so I can't compare with others but I enjoyed every minute - even the 36 mins I spent in my very long, long private tour of the lake. It was a big challenge to complete in the time I thought I could do. My goal was under 2 hours - I made it in 2:09. I will do it again and improve my time and strategy during parts of the race next year. Thanks to hubby Greg, Sharon, Becky, Judy, Janice, Gabe, Ron, swim classmates, and others for the encouragement. It is fun (and hard) to be fit but worth every mile.

  • Comments: This was just a fun race for me since I hadn't done a triathlon since last October and have been so incredibly uninspired to train lately. It made me think I want to sign up for another one!

  • Comments: Danskin was one of my first tris and it holds a special place in my heart. My first Danskin was in 2001 which I did in 1:52 then again in 2006 in 1:46 so I took off 17 minutes which I'm very proud of and I was 10th in my age group!

  • Comments: So I did the course about 2 minutes faster than the Trek Tri. Should have been more than that if I didn't totally suck at the run. I was very happy with the swim and bike. For the whole race I was top 13% in AG and top 15% overall! Imagine what I could do when my run gets better!
