  • Comments: It would have been a train wreck if it was a higher temp today. No. Gatorade and only 2 gel stations could have ended bad for many people who did to carry ther own nutrition

  • Comments: Really enjoyed the race. For a first year event it was extremely well organized and no major hiccups occurred. The post race food was this weird spicy rice bowl. Everyone was complaining about it but I chowed it down. Will do this race again and will recommend it to all of my friends.

  • Comments: In my opinion, I thought the race was good. The water stations were spread out about every 1.5 miles with power gel stations strategically placed throughout as well. These gel stations were located about 1/4 to 1/2 half mile before water stations which gave you the chance to wash your gel down with water/Gatorade. The crowds were great. They were very enthusiastic. I even saw a sign from some triathlon team/group that read: "Wanna Tri a Threesome?" It was pretty funny, at least to me. A couple down sides were the food. They only had some type of rice/meat/veggie mix. There was no bananas or pizza or anything else. Also, when I went to get my shirt they only had large and extra large shirts remaining. When I signed up for the race they asked specifically what size I need - medium. But to make up for the shirt issue, and limited food issue, they had free beer.
