  • Comments: For a sprint tri, I think there should be at least 2 aid stations for the run. One at the start of the run and one near the middle. The whole thing seemed as if a few people got together and said, "Let's put on a triathlon next month." It was the inaugural race so maybe next year there will be some improvement. I doubt I will do this race again.

  • Comments: The only thing that I saw that made people mad was that in the packet, the transition area was said to have designated spots. That wasn't the case. I didn't mind because I got there right when it opened and had a great spot.

  • Comments: Was a little less than impressed with this race. The race packet was minimal, no technical shirt, no finishers medal, no post race food (though later I heard someone found some kinda rice/sausage/egg stuff). Would like to see a little more next year. I would do it again though because I train out there a lot so I am familiar with the area. I also heard that when Derek and Sarah left transition there was NO ONE there checking numbers or bikes although there was when I left. That is pretty unacceptable since we rely on the event company to keep our gear safe while we are participating.

  • Comments: I thoroughly enjoyed this race. The only real nitpick was the lack of water pre-race. Once the race started, however, I thought things went great, the course was excellent and the conditions really couldn't be beaten. The course was well marked and easy to follow. I was a bit nervous about it b/c the website wasn't very good and there were a few mild course changes at the last minute, but again they were well marked and easy to follow. The volunteers and the police did a great job controlling and directing traffic, as I had no issue bouncing out of and back into the neighborhood across traffic.

  • Comments: Need more volunteers and water stations (near transition/start of run). Good first effort, sure it will improve over time.
