  • Comments: This was a PR race at Trizou for me. Felt really good and confident all day. The training for mid May 70.3 with an emphasis on speed work really seemed to help here.

  • Comments: Great race for people wanting to try triathlons. I also think it's a great race to start the season. The amount of competitors and the sheer size and area of the transition area was a lot more than I expected. They could have done a better job handling all of the racers with more than one body marking area. Still it's a great race. Ultramax Sports always puts on a great event. They just need to prepare a little better for the amount of people they sign up.

  • Comments: Everything was great, except for the post race activities. Only thing I would change is entering the pool. Many people seemed to be in the wrong time zones, and there were many backups in the pool. Other than that it was a great first race!

  • Comments: I love this race and will defiantly do it again. It's a challenging race, especially the bike course. I like the hills on the course and then the relatively flat run course.

  • Comments: The swim was awesome, bike was cold and windy and the run for me was horrible. I tried to enjoy the Post Race Pizza but it was a little to greasey for me. Overall the race was well organized and enjoyable, I will enter this race again next year.

  • Comments: Really a good experience overall. Was very organized and timely with everything. The swim was much more orgainzed than I thought it would be and move along very quickly. This is a race I would recommend to anyone looking to do their first Triathlon.

  • Comments: Great race. Ultramax always does well. Only request would be to put up signs with expected swim times in the pool area like last year to help people with lining up.

  • Comments: Great way to start my Tri career and I just wish I had pushed myself a little harder to get main goal of sub 1:30 time but 1:31 is close enough for me. Lots of fun and great volunteers.

  • Comments: If they're going to have 800 people registering for this race next year, they might want to consider doing something different for the swim. Three hours is a long time to wait and I wasn't even at the end of the line. Even the race officials were saying that it took a lot longer to get everyone in the pool than they expected.

  • Comments: Good race overall. I think the bike and run course could use an overahaul though. Well organized and executed. We didn't stick around for awards, because it took forever. That is one of my pet peeves. For a race that takes a little over an hour, shouldn't have to wait around for 4 hours to get awards. Or if someone wants to get their award before hand they should be able to. Oh well, it was just a bottle of wine, and I don't even drink. :)

  • Comments: thought this was a well organized race, ran very well. Lots of volunteers, most of the biking was on busy streets, but volunteers did a great job at all intersections. Not much way around the slow swim start, tough to get close to 800 people through the pool.

  • Comments: Race was super awesome and I had a blast. Got to meet another BTer, crozetiga (Josh) afterwards and say Hi. Unforunately I couldnt stay around for the pizza and beer that was on its way, had to make my way for a bike ride that was 2 hrs away.
