  • Comments: No post-race activities, which was a bit of a let down. If you were in one of the earlier heats and a pretty quick triathlete, you could hit up some of the booths that were at the pre-race expo on Saturday (the race was Sunday), but it was hard to find much open if you got done after 10am.

  • Comments: Overall, it was a fun, girl-power kind of race. Fun for novices and non-competitive types! About half of the people had road bikes, while the other half had mountain bikes/cruisers/hybrids etc. I loved the swim and found it less challenging than triangle courses and the navigation was much easier. The bike course was fun, but extra challenging because of the heat and wind. The run was flat, but hot, no shade, and not enough water stops for the conditions. I enjoyed the course, but the parking, expo, and the rigmarole around the race is completely exhausting and irritating. If my buddies do it again next year, I will probably do it again.

  • Comments: I say this every year... I love the race itself -- it's well-done, organized and very inspiring -- but am 100% aggravated by everything else about it. The expo: sucked. Few vendors, sub-par goody bag. As far as I found, they didn't even have a booth where I could buy gel. Parking: don't even get me started on this. Every year they have more and more women competing, but they can't seem to handle all the cars. Post-race: one bagel and piece of fruit per athlete. I understand that they need to have something for everyone, but with as big as Danskin is, don't you think they could get more stuff there? More variety? Now that I'm done venting... the race is totally inspiring. We stayed and cheered a lot of women into the finish chute, and I literally tear up seeing some of the women and their courage and drive and motivation and pure JOY at accomplishing something like this. Sometimes I take for granted that I have the ability to do these things, and but witnessing the determination

  • Comments: I'm pleased with my overall performance and I'm excited that I can finally call myself a triathlete!! Danskin puts on a great event and I'll definitely be adding this one to my race calendar next year.
