  • Comments: This WAS a good race. Nicely organized (As the Set Up events have been this year.) I could not have asked for better racing weather. Mild temps. Overcast skies so it wasn't hot and sunny, particularly for the run. My issue was my mental attitude. I was just...tired. Wasn't super motivated to do this race. Let the numbers (as in distances) freak me out. I really need a break right now. Not sure I'd tackle this race again (OK-after the race I said I'd NEVER do it again!) but that's my fatigue talking. Never say never!

  • Comments: Setup events and organizers did a great job. This event was originally post-poned due to Hurricane Matthew, and you couldn't tell that all was re-setup and ready for us Saturday morning.

  • Comments: I love this course, the distance, and the time of year. I'd say that this was my best all-around race, so far. I did well in every discipline, and made some real progress since last year. I even got a blanket for all my hard work!

  • Comments: This was a great race. Location was awesome, parking was stellar. The only complaint I had was the lack of nutritious Vegetarian post food options. It was suggested I have an iceberg lettuce and salsa wrap... Oh well, Jamie and I got Chipotle afterwards which helped a ton :) Got to meet Michael and that was great. Even watched him receive his award for making podium! Hope to run into him more in the future!

  • Comments: Will do again and highly recommend for anyone willing to make the race. With a 0800 start time it's perfect for the family. The hotel was 7 minutes away and had a great breakfast.

  • Comments: A great course, excellent parking, good food after (except for limited veggie options for those so inclined). I really loved the dam, both riding and running. And the swim was great; the water was clear and the perfect temperature. I'll definitely do this again next year!

  • Comments: I liked this race a lot. Of course, the longer swim makes it very challenging for folks like me (and what I mean by `folks like me' is `folks who cannot swim') to make headway against the fast swimmers. I lost 5 minutes (ouch!) on the swim to the #1 open master's guy (and nearly 3 minutes to #2). We were otherwise quite even. So, right now the difference between the top and me is swimming. I can't hide from that reality.
