  • Comments: Super organized. Great staff. Wonderful volunteers. There were some minor course changes, but they were for the best and all turned out great. Both days were pushed back about 10min for better visibility. This is a great race. I'll be back next year for sure.

  • Comments: The race was awesome for the price you pay. It didn't have all the bells and whistles but I only paid a fraction of the price to race it. I'd race it again but don't think I'd do the full distance with HITS. I saw a few finishers the night before and it seemed a little bare bones for that distance. Still they do a quality job putting on a race

  • Comments: This was a new race venue. Great team running the event. Transition area used those "boxes" where you put your wheel in the slots and store your gear. This made for a very clean transition area. I didn't like the out/back swim, especially after getting whacked on the head by the guy on the wrong side of the buoy. Some traffic on the bike course but overall it was a good course. Not sure why they changed the run course to a dirt trail. There were plenty of roads in the park.

  • Comments: i like the venue and also expected more athletes but Ok for a first time. Everyone in my club did well. RD should have made us more aware of rooming alternatives near venue. Trips back & forth to hotel really brought a lot of people's negativity pre-race. Other than that, I loved the clean lake, traffic free roads but not so much the loose sand trail.

  • Comments: Very good race overall. HITS did a good job with organization. Thought there might be more participants, but not bad for the first year for the event. This was my first Oly race, and it showed one thing, I need more swim training. The bike and run portions I was prepared for; the swim not so much.
