Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: Probably will not do this race again because the run course just doesn't thrill me. Others may like running through the woods on snaky, uneven, gravelly trails crowded with other runners, I don't. I was told the venue is a pain because you need to arrive early and park a long way from the transition area and event site, but that didn't really bother me. It only took about 20 minutes to walk from the parking area to the transition area. After the event, I was able to get everything loaded and ride back to the car instead of walking. Before I started this race, I decided I was going to just take it easy and enjoy it, so I ended up with the finishing position I deserved. Can't complain, but I know I could have gone a little faster if I had wanted to.

Comments: Race was very well run. 6:30am start time kind of sucks. Didn't like the gravel/trail run but that is just a personal preference. I have nothing to compare it to tri-wise but compared to most running races I do, this was a very well run race.

Comments: I wished their were more bike route volunteers by the time my wave came through. Some were not even paying attention to give directions. Not sure if I would do this one again execpt for the location and the beer at the end.

Comments: I went there to have fun & enjoy myself and I did. Weather was spectacular. Good socializing. And I still felt good enough to get a good workout in on Sunday. I still think about giving up sprints as I suck at them and they can be fairly hard on morale. So maybe race two or three times in a year and just spend the rest of the time training is what I'm cut out for. But there's FREE BEER at latta....
