  • Comments: I was really happy to have completed this race. I started training in December 07 after being sick for over a year and had surgery in September 07. I'm so thankful that I can even train now for an event like this without getting sick! This is a great race for women like me who are trying to make changes in life and health and need some positive and attainable goals. It's full of women of all shapes and sizes and ages and everyone is so encouraging and helpful. I was even able to encourage a few women myself from remarks I have heard on BT. One lady was kind of bummed that she had finished near last in her age group. I asked her, "Do you know what they call the person who finishes last?" She looked at me with a mix of curiosity and dread. I told her, "a Triathlete!" She gave me a big smile and said she was proud of all of us for starting and even more proud for finishing.

  • Comments: This is one of my favorite races to do - it is organized, well-run, has plenty of volunteers and spectators, and is pretty much just a big party. This race caters to first-times and experienced women alike. Overall I would recommend it to just about anyone.
