  • Comments: Love this course and will always keep this one in mind for an end of season race. Only questionable part is that chance of rain goes up some as we get into autumn around here. Couple that with the lower temps and it'll be best to wait for last minute sign-up and hope it's ok.

  • Comments: Great venue. Read my warm-down for some bitterness towards the RD. Otherwise it's great, well organized and just a great race. I still would like cold Coke at the finish meal. Is that too much to ask?? I have all the water I can drink. I don't need another bottle of it. Thanks.

  • Comments: I love doing this race, even though the weather has sucked 2 of the 3 years I've done it. The hills are definitely challenging.

  • Comments: A super race with very friendly staff and volunteers. The course was well marked and I felt very safe during the entire race. I will definitely be doing more WI Tri Series races in the future. www.witriseries.com

  • Comments: Food could have been more? Cold pasta and Chicken Sandwhich. Looking for more Soup and hot drinks, but that could have changed due to the weather!

  • Comments: This is always a fun race to end the season. It's one to look forward to as a challenge on the bike and the great scenery. Food was not so good this year and seemed to be smaller in portion. Otherwise - a well run event and fun time.

  • Comments: Seemed like they could have used a few more people in the water given all the problems we've been having in WI this year.

  • Comments: I struggled, but it wasn't the race's fault. I'll definately be back. Doing well here in the future will be very rewarding. The event was very well done. Kudos to everyone involved with the exception of the racer next to me in the transition station.

  • Comments: I had a very fun time on my first tri! The course was beautiful, the water wasn't cold like everyone had told me it would be and the hills-well, the hills still sucked. I was very happy my friends and family came to support me, too. (Complete with homemade signs and everything!) The weather was awesome, too. Overall, this was a great challenge for me and I'm so happy I finished it with a smile on my face!

  • Comments: I really like this course and wish they had a long course to cap off summer. While a couple of the roads need work, those are minor compared to the rest of the event in terms of organization, scenery, and fun. The tech-tee given this year was much better. They also started about 10 minutes late due to late arrivals at packet pickup. Decent crowd support up to 2 hours into the event. I don't think it's a 1st timer event as I did last year, but maybe for those looking for their 2nd or more tri.

  • Comments: I got my fourth place in this race in transitions. Seriously. Apparently, I'm good at them. Not sure why other people aren't as good. But, my best placing outside of transitions was 7th, but I managed 4th overall. That's pretty freaking huge. But, hey, I'll take it!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The flip flopping on the changing bike course was absolutely ridiculous. It was changed twice in a week and while it affects everyone equally, it's not fair to those of us that trained on the wrong courses. Their reasons must have been pretty good to do this to everyone, but it's just not acceptable. They need to be better organized.

  • Comments: Event was good -- I probably could have done a little better, but such is life. This is probably the 'most happy' I have been with a triathlon (now that I have a whole 4 of them under my belt - 1 of which was indoors). It was awesome to have a couple of donkey's in the race, and also cheering on. The EEEAAAAAWWWWW's are like a little burst of adrenaline. Sandi was taking pictures, and parents came down to watch. Good times, good times. Now I have some time before next race, which will probably be Florida 70.3 series next May.... lots of time to improve on the swim distances and transitions.

  • Comments: It was a great race, and great to see everyone ther. I was proud to see Travis's improvements from Elkhart Lake to today. Great to see other fellow Donkai and enjoyed returning to this course. I plan on returning next year to improve again. eeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaawwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww!!!!
