  • Comments: This was a well run race and all aid stations were stocked very well. Mark is a great race director who still remembers everyone's name. I'll keep doing HITS races as long as they are like this. This course was pretty tough though. maybe just the sprint next year.

  • Comments: Great venue and an awesome group of racers (stacked field for the size) and volunters but like anything new manpower was lacking. I will say though for the amount of help there was the event went astoundingly smooth.

  • Comments: The course was buitiful, the water was really cold, the bike was really hilly with long climbs, road conditions not good, technical sharp turning desents, very hilly run. This is a very challenging course. I hope they take feedback and improve the post race eats and put a portta potty on the bike.
