Comments: Good race and event. Pretty low key because its early in the season I think. Really amazing how fast many of the athletes were, especially in my age group. Had a lot of fun, and this may have been the best I executed a race plan so far. Which is funny, given its my first DU. That may be because my plan was based on what I thought I could do based on training, as opposed to the time I want to do. Something to think about.

Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

Comments: Didn't train enough and was cramping on the second 5k. Should have trained harder and should have run more but having a baby takes a lot of time. Still happy that I was able to participate and did have a fairly good race for the amount that I was able to train. Also playing a lot of tennis doesn't translate into good running/biking fitness.

Comments: Well-organized event overall. The volunteers were great! The timing/results were handled really well. Post-race food was great. The only small complaint I have is that the wave starts were very confusing. For each wave start, we could hear a very faint voice on a distant PA speaker announcing the start. They really should have had somebody standing at the start line handling things.

Comments: Not necessarily for the "average" athlete getting into tri & Du's. Racers were fast...but I am a beginner.

Comments: Very cool race...not so fun to do 5 loops of 5 miles on the bike, but it did make for good course knowledge after loop one! Awards were pretty cool, we got a bottle of wine and a tech shirt for the age group award, and another bottle, tech shirt and sunglasses for the overall award. Overall, super happy with how this race went. I wish I could say my heel was perfect and that it was none the worse for wear, but the truth is, I really wanted to see how I could do in a duathlon, so I am happy I raced it!
