  • Comments: Great race,very well organized, volunteers are awesome, lots of station aids one every Kilometer on the run!!! that's more than 20!! and they had all kinds of things; lots of very cold bags of water, lots of ice, gatorade, pepsi, orange and bananas, pretzels, you name it!!! And the volunteers, mostly young kids were AWESOME! Flat al surfaces, bike is kind of isolated but the run is packed with people cheering. My only problem (big one) is that it was too hot and humid. I was actually shocked at how bad I felt on the run....... bummer. But I would definitely recommend this race to anybody. Good training for IMFL, first international race, got to share the experience of a Colombian Pro Triathlete and learned a lot. He was fifth (overtaken in the last 2 miles, lost podium).

  • Comments: With the exception of a couple "nit-picky" critiques (the speedsuit, compression sleeve, and distance marker comments) this was a very well RUN race, that has potential to be quite fast (if you train in consistently HOT weather). A special shout out to the volunteers. Essentially they were a bunch of high-school age kids, and while normally I would view this as a potentially bad thing, they did an absolutely FANTASTIC job. One young man actually ran my buddy down with ice after the volunteers couldn't have it to him by the time he ran through the aide station!
