  • Comments: This was a very well run race. It seems to be one of the premier sprint races in the Midwest if not the nation. It pulls in people from all over the US and there is a ton of talented athletes that show up as well.

  • Comments: Eric puts on one of the best events I've ever attended. It really is one of the premier Sprint Tri's in the Midwest, if not the country. Another very well run race.

  • Comments: Time trial start was a great way to do it for first-timers and weaker swimmers, as one wouldn't have to worry as much about the anxiety of 25 or so people starting all at once. However, some better signage with respect to anticipated swim times would have been helpful as I wasn't the only one wondering if I was in the right spot or not. Other than that, this race was run very very well and the RD (Eric Sarno) did a terrific job of keeping everyone informed both before and during the race.

  • Comments: It was a great day. This was my first triathlon, and I am very happy with my performance. I never really believed anyone when they told me that this would become an addiction, but now I do. I have already signed up for my next one in 6 weeks. I look forward to training harder/smarter for that one.

  • Comments: QC Tri is not a huge race but Eric Sarno, the race director, makes it seem like it with how well it's run. I've heard of more popular races that really suck but this one is a must do if you're in the area or are willing to drive to it. Awesome race!

  • Comments: I had a blast!! Loved my hometown race!! There was a bit of a mix-up for the first finishers at the run turn-around that caused some controversy, but that was a bit of a fluke. I felt bad for Jeff Paul, who finished second overall as a result (But first in most everyone's mind). The race director made it right by splitting the first place money, and apologizing. Again, this was just a fluke and this is still a great event run by a great race director and his team. Lots of volunteers, all very friendly. A spectator friendly event also compared to some other triathlons I have competed in.

  • Comments: Eric Sarno, the RD, puts on one of the BEST races I have ever done. I'm up to 17 races and this one is just SO well run. From the time you register to the time you cross the finish line. Well done Eric. You deserved this as a qualifier. Congrats on another fantastic race.

  • Comments: I love QC Tri. Even better that it was a Worlds Qualifier this year, and I was fast enough to qualify. Even if it wasn't all that hard to qualify to begin with. I was also very happy with my performance during the race. It really felt like the first time I was ever to put a good, complete race together. It was great to race with my friends/team, see my friends from out of town, and meet a lot of great people in to qualify for the race. I'm still trying to figure out a way to make it to worlds.

  • Comments: I love this race. It was great to see Crowny and John again. It was also great racing with the team. I can't say enough about how good of people I've met through there. We had a great turnout for the race, great results, and a good time. Couldnt ask for much more. If this ends up being the last race of this season, it was a great one!

  • Comments: Even thought I had a horrible race, this is still one of the best run races around. Top to bottom, start to finish, Eric Sarno is a great RD. As always I will be back next year. I love this race. IF you have the opportunity, do it. It is worth it.

  • Comments: I thought it was a really well done race. My biggest complaint would have been all the mud we had to run through, but how often do we really have to plan for as much rain as we've had. Race bag had lots of nice stuff. Volunteers were friendly and helpful. Not much more I could ask for except a better performance from myself.
