  • Comments: I liked the town, ambience, number of participants, nice Transition areas with enough space for everyone. Good service & friendly. Great place to have your first tri of any distance. T-shirt size is wrong. I'm 6' 177lbs and would have preferred a small. I'm fine with hilly bike ride. I didn't like the run. If run needs to stay that steep then it should be earlier in the year. This race would be perfect with a flat run alongside the river in the shade of the trees. Hopefully they can make this modification. Race director talked about trying to do that next year. Interestingly the race was close in my AG: 5 1/2 minutes faster and I would have placed 2nd. Of course, there are 3 other guys thinking the same. My wife loves the wild flowers in the area and went on a pictures taking frenzy during my race so we both had a great trip.
