  • Comments: Losing my chip was costly ($30 for replacement!) not to mention no official splits or placings. Lesson learned.

  • Comments: Only complaints: body marking lines were crazy long. Hot water on mile 1 of race. Everything else was well run as most Setup Events are! Food afterwards was good, but no beer :-( It wasn't exactly the way I wanted to end the season but it was a swim/run PR and almost a PR on the bike on a much hillier course.

  • Comments: This race is loaded/sold out with triathletes every year. It's time for them to split the novices to a day later like they do with Latta Plantaition in June. The transition area was just too cramped with people.

  • Comments: These folks do a great job organizing and setting up the race. For the life of me I can't figure out why it is so popular. The water is murky and hot, the roads are average and the run is certainly not scenic. Good race but between this race and Latta, I would take latta everytime.

  • Comments: This was a really good race for me and I needed it. My last couple of races had been tough (injury, wreck) and it was nice to feel strong again. Plus, it's a big local race so I get to spend the morning with all my Tri friends and meet new ones too -- like Carol (keyone). :)

  • Comments: I feel a great sense of relief that I'm not crushed about missing the podium this race (I've had podium finishes in all my other races this year). I had a great race, had fun, met some nice people, including BT'rs love2tri (Alice) and a guy she was with (sorry, can't remember your name!). A great day. Oh, and Alice got 1st place in her age group - WAY TO GO!!! I wish I could have met some other BT'rs! I didn't know what you all looked like, tho! I beat my time from last year by over 4 minutes. 1 minute on the swim, 2 on the bike, and 1 on the run :)

  • Comments: Like this race, large crowd, but the course suits me. Long, hard bike and then reasonable run. Took 3 mins off last year's time. 1 min faster on swim, 1+ on bike, and :30 on run. Not too bad even though I think I could have done even better than I did.

  • Comments: Overall for limited training time, and for just going out to do it, I had a FANTASTIC race... I am really happy that I matched last years time. Okay so last year was 1hr, 47mins, 15s; this year was 1hr 47mins, 14s...okay so can not get much more consistent than that all I did was, trade time off the swim for added time on the bike, then pulled a bit faster run. For next year, need to focus on swim and bike...mostly bike. So people like Tommy won't come by slapping my butt saying "get along old man this....is a race after all"---

  • Comments: Really good organization. Well run race. Bike was a little crowded and there was some packs so maybe there needs to be some more rules enfocement, but there were some motorbikes out there to watch things. Didn't stick around for post-race stuff.

  • Comments: Overall a lot of fun, I will be back next year and would advise anyone nearby to do this race. Tons of volunteers everywhere. I didn't stick around for too long afterwards so I can't comment on the post race activities, I was too busy thinking about how to do better next time. I'm hooked.

  • Comments: I was disappointed at my AG finish. I wanted to go top 5. I will do this again next year. I should do much better on the run now that I know the course.
