  • Comments: The Jimmie Johnson Foundation puts on great races. Their participant numbers seem to grow for each race while other races are seeing dwindling participant numbers or even being cancelled. The races are well organized, have tons of volunteers to help, and the post race food is fantastic. It also helps that the proceeds go to a good cause. I highly recommend JJ Foundation races.

  • Comments: I did not race it last year when Jimmy Johnson put his name on it; it is still a fun race. The swim course could be better. Great weather and great post race atmosphere. Fun race and one that I enjoy

  • Comments: For what it is - part of a three company wellness challenge plus where it is on the calendar (most folks focused on season ending longer races) its a good race - it was better than last year as far as organization. Its small but a good race for beginners. I like the race a bunch More porta potties this year (like double) plus more volunteers with chips and marking made it a much better experience. The Course is really nice (great swim in a cove, the run is relatively flat, and the bike is on well known roads and routes) - So major thanks to race folks for making this race better. It was a great deal better than last year. My only beef was the award - last year was a beer glass this year a hat? a hat come on man.

  • Comments: Would have finished 2nd in my AG instead of the Clydes. Top 3 Clydes were all masters. I rated the race a 2 because of organization - Examples: 1) Race morning the packet pick up line and chip picket up lines were long - it was a staffing issue. 2) The racks - they were high but my main issue was they put about 2 too many bikes per rack - 3) In the transition area the swim end doubled for the run start - no biggie but there was no signs for the run start. But they did have signs for the bike start/end. I had to ask a volunteer/friend for directions. They did announce this before the race. But it was just strange. 4) Pet Peeve - if you advertise a 500 yard swim then at least make it close - the swim was way off - the back stretch of the triangle was 300 plus yards alone. The swim was a good location in a cove. just needs to be measured accurately. 5) The volunteer at the intersection - needed to be more assertive Until this year, this was a closed event. Its the first non-Setup
