  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: All of my times are "Guesstimates" because I am pretty sure the timing chip was off. I know I am somewhere between 58minutes and 1hr 3m. I believe the first few splits are right and just the run is off. Other than that, it is a great beginner/fun race. Such a unique race in that it is very close to be an anaerobic race with the transitions/short distance and lack of rest! Will look forward to competing next year and not putting in such a poor performance

  • Comments: This was my second tri of the season and my first Sprint distance. I was proud to see my numbers and thought I was much slower overall. But it looks like the time I set for my goal was good. I wanted to finish in 75 - 80 minutes and I was psyched to see me coming in 02:37 ahead of goal.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: What a fantastic race. It is SOOOOO newcomer-friendly and there is such a triumphant, festive spirit to it because of that. Everything is well-organized, and the post-race goodies are excellent. The length of the swim can be daunting--this is a unique race in that it is equilateral, i.e., the average person would finish all three legs in roughly the same time--as can be the three-part run up to T1. But there is no hurry, and there are lots of volunteers, and everyone is so encouraging.

  • Comments: I was not excited about this race ahead of time. I was a few weeks ago, but the last week I let my excitement wane as I caved in on my weight watchers dieting. I just thought I'd go out and do it as my workout for the weekend. But I was really into it once I got there. And had a great time!
