  • Comments: It's past noon...ON TUESDAY!... and we still don't have correct race results posted. We'd like to know how we did, although by the looks of things, there are errors even in the times that have been posted. The race delay commentary/arguing was interesting to listen to. I'm not sure about the course measurements being accurate. I emailed them about the results and measurements about an hour ago. The post-race awards ceremony didn't start until 1pm. That's a long time for people to wait around. I thought the volunteers and support did a good job. Not sure if I'll choose to do this one again...second chance next year?

  • Comments: Started 45 minutes late. Apparently because the barracade company filed bankrupcy and never told the race director. So they scrammbled last minute to find a replacement. The race was disorganized, the race maps were terrible. When asking the race director about clarification he said "don't worry it will be well marked tomorrow and you will not get lost" it was not well marked at all! Obviously because people were cutting corners. If I hadn't gone the night before I probably would have cut a corner or 3 as well. The results were weird too. I came up as 6th in my age group on the instant results. Then I look on the website that evening and it says I am 7th, but I do not recognise one of the numbers as being one that passed me on the run (they would have HAD to pass me on the run) and she has only a bike split posted with the overall time. The girl who won the olympic and was awarded 1st place is not the one who is listed on the website as winning. There were people missing their entire

  • Comments: There were lots of great volunteers and the course was marked well. I am not sure what the 30 minute delay was for but I heard something about the streets not being cleared. It was nice to have some of the roads totally blocked to all traffic. I am sure it made passing me much easier. The volunteers were great and there seemed to be lots of food for the finishers. Kinda disappointed with the swag or lack of for this race. Not sure why every race I do I get a coffee mug. I dont even drink coffee. BTW if anyone wants some coffee cups let me know I'll send them your way.

  • Comments: While this race has organization. It could be improved. The packet pick-up is very different from every other race I have done and was different from the year before. This year they just let you pick whatever cap color you wanted to wear, so it was difficult to tell where your heat was at the starting line. The announcing during the wave starts was weak. I do give high marks to the goodie bag and the quality and amount of sponsors that show up to the race. The volunteers are great and the available recovery foods are very good.

  • Comments: I'm glad that I signed up for the sprint because I was in no condition to do the Oly today. I did not have proper nutrition, sleep or hydration for the Oly. I would like to do the Oly next year.

  • Comments: It was a great time, the awards ceremony and the finish were very anti-climatic and rushed or maybe just seemed like a passing after thought, not too creative and not bold enough.

  • Comments: Overall I'm pretty pleased. I improved my time drastically from last year (1:19:xx), I hit all the goal paces that I wanted to, and held to my race plan. But, as Bryancd has pointed out, a lot of FAST people showed up this year. I improved my time by 7 minutes, and finished 15th as opposed to last years 13th. But, overall a really good race!

  • Comments: I had fun at the event, and it had highs and lows. It seemed a little disorganized, but it didn't affect my enjoyment too much. I was disappointed with my run, thrilled with my bike, and frustrated with my swim. I met some great people, saw some great people I already know, and it was a beautiful day. I learned about race strategy/management and it will help me be better in the future. All races are special in one way or another, and I feel like I grew because of this one. As a matter of perspective, just last September, I was just enjoying the scenery. In some ways, it's a loss of innocence since it is not brand new anymore. I feel like I have progressed now to a point where I can critique my performance, see the good and the bad and the opportunity for improvement. I am no longer simply satisfied to drag myself across the finish line. However, I know now that even without the newness, I enjoy this sport and since I can constantly strive to get better, it will not get boring.

  • Comments: Overall it was a great first race, I really appreciated the support of everyone there. It has been especially good staying motivated with the OWS with ESCKTC out at Saguaro Lake as that helped me alot in staying calm in the water. The event was put on pretty well overall despite the overbearing/anal race director. Now I am ready to train harder and get ready for the next one.
