  • Comments: The volunteers were great!!!! So friendly. The only drag was how long it took to get my gear after the race was over. They had to cart our gear from T1 over to the finish area and by the time the gear arrived there was a line about 2 blocks long. My wetsuit fell out of my bag - it took a while to search for it. I finished the race at 11:20 and couldn't get out of there till 2. Other than that, the race was great!!!!

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: A well organized event and very challening course. If you don't like hills avoid this one at all cost. If they figure out how to make you swim uphill I'm sure they will. So outside of me coming out of the water first, I was destoryed on the bike and couldn't really recovery from that damage. A lot of rookie lessons learned. 1. Fix Bike Computer. 2. Wear a watch. 3. Wear sunscreen. I will not be holding back in a month in Indiana that is for sure....I know what to expect now and it's on...

  • Comments: My goal for this race was to qualify for AG Nationals, which required a top 10% finish. I was 13/103 so I didn't meet my goal. The swim could have been a little better even though I didn't have a time mapped out for it. I wanted to hit 50 minutes or better on the bike and didn't. On the run I was hoping to run about a 6'50" pace, but didn't do that either. Overall it was a good first race of the season and given that it was only my 3rd tri ever, it's still a learning experience. Aside from the shortened swim course, I thought the event was well organized and the volunteers were all good. There were cops and cars throughout the bike and run course to make sure traffic didn't interfere, and that everyone was staying on the course. I don't know what my tri schedule will be for next year, but I'd have no problem adding this one in again.
