• Comments: My 1st tri in 13 yrs & I have to say the organizers did an excellent job. Things are a bit spread apart (parking, swim to transition, run finish to transition area) but not because they didn't plan that, it's just how the park is organized. Loved the run around the pond, loved the bike even though it was on a somewhat busy road. I think they could widen the lanes a bit in the swim or add more lanes or something, it was a bit crowded for the slower swimmers like myself. However, I really enjoyed myself & two of my friends who came to watch were inspired & want to do this event next year. Perfect race for beginners or people who love to Tri but hate being intimidated by crazy experts. I used a hybrid bike, not a road bike. There is one steep downhill w/a curve at the bottom so bike speeds aren't super fast but there is a great section with terrific rolling hills that was just plain fun to ride.

• Comments: I thought it was well marked, plenty of people telling you what to do at the lap "decision points."
