  • Comments: i did not like this race - the course is challenging and fun but the logistics and coordination was horrible. First - when i got to the packet pick up, they ran out of goodie bags and small shirts (even tho i ordered one) the expo was lame - no gear. Even the body marker was bad. My 6 and 4 were horrible. The poles for the transition area were poorly marked. The volunteers didnt seem to know much. Day of - the parking is far away and the traffic to get into the parking lot was horrible. 20 mins just to get into the lot. The shuttle bus was long and slow - good thing we got there 1hr early. I felt bad for those that were late. not enough potties - and the were poorly situated - in spots where people need to get by, near transition entrance etc. getting around was hard cause all the pathways were either blocked or for competitors only so the spectators had a hard time getting around. leaving was a night mare. They set up a reunite area that of course ended up getting blocked

  • Comments: This is a fabulous event and I would recommend it to any woman just starting out or looking for a "feel good" tri experience. I thought everything was well organized given the sheer numbers of racers and spectators, and though there was a line for just about everything ... racking bikes, porta potties, shuttle buses it seemed to move as smoothly as possible. The best thing was the comraderie among the participants, everybody was so supportive and encouraging - it's hard to even explain. And the community, what a fabulous community! People camped out in their front yards and along the route cheering the racers - that was a first for me! There were tons of volunteers and the course was well supported along the way. The best thing was the swim support - tons of lifeguards, docks positioned all along the swim, kayaks and the volunteer swim angels. My friend swam with a noodle and a swim angel by her side the whole race - where else would that have been allowed?? It built her confidence and

  • Comments: danskin is always fun. I am encouraged that my swim was faster than last year, I ran a lot more than I did last year )last year ITBS had me walking from the start) but a bit disappointed in the bike. I have imporved tremendously from last year, but my time didn;t reflect that.

  • Comments: I would definitely recommend the race. It's for a great cause, I love women-only events, and it was a nice course and race overall. That said, there were lots of volunteers but they didn't know anything so when you asked them a question, none of them had an answer. Quite often they didn't know where to send you to get the answer either. There was also a general air of chaos. And while I was told by multiple women that the organization is worlds better than it was for the past couple of years, I feel like by the 10th anniversary running you would have some of those kinks worked out.

  • Comments: This review probably sounds negative, but let me assure you, I am not doing it justice. This event was terribly organized from packet pick-up to getting out of the lot after the race. I will not be doing it again. Luckily, I've done tris before and I was expecting a sub-par performance, so it didn't turn me off to the sport. I just hope that some of the other girls trying this for the first time didn't leave thinking "why in the hell would I want to do that again?".
