  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: For me, lack of planning on the part of the race director (I understand emergencies happen, but no #2 person to take over and final results took weeks to post because of it) including palnning a run with stairs caused this to be an unpleasant race for me. Do not plan on attending in the future as the course was hosed, the results were late, the attention to the participants was minimal, and communication was poor.

  • Comments: Overall this was "just another Tempe Town Lake" race. But that by no means implies it was bad. The race was much better organized than last year hence making it much more enjoyable. For a warmup race during the season I couldn't ask for much more than racing with a great group of friends during a fun, convenient race.

  • Comments: It was a fun well run race. I was a little concerned about the bike course but it turned out to be alright. The bike was a little long, at least by my computer, but considering this race was a little more expensive that’s ok. A few extra miles never killed anybody right?

  • Comments: I had a good time today. I would like it if for once I could race around TTL and it not be over 90. My goal was to practice for Boise and not get injured. I accomplished that. The course had plenty of cold water which was nice. The race schwag was weak. Where are the race splits. Why have all of the timing mats if splits are not published? A water bottle or medal would be nice. The ESCKTC had a very nice showing.

  • Comments: The race itself went better than I thought- bike course wasnt as bad as I expected. Race schwag was kind of lame, and I do hope they post official splits. Luckily I wore 2 watches and have my own splits. I'd probably do it again esp if entering with a club/group.

  • Comments: I had a great time on this course!! My only complaint is the steps on the run..twice! Seemed a bit cruel at the time but I guess it worked. The drink stations and volunteers were wonderful!
