  • Comments: I have been waiting for this race for a year. Last year I volunteered for it on my 20th birthday and pledged that I would race next year. Well I raced and did so much better than I ever thought I could. I lost 30 pounds of the past year and can now run more than a half a mile without stopping. I tried to give back to others but raising money for the Ullman Young Adult Cancer Fund and that gave me a great feeling too. This race meant so much to me, more than just the final race of the season but more of a pledge to what I can accomplish in a year and what the future holds for me. I am very thankful to all those who were there to talk to in the months coming up to the race and I can't wait to do it again next year and be soo much better. Good luck and best wishes everyone!

  • Comments: I really enjoyed it, although there were some key elements that weren't managed well. They never said anything in the packet about when the transition area would close, they put plywood over the train tracks which I think was worse than the tracks, etc. They never said I had to leave my bike sticker on to leave transition at the end. I'm new, as are many who do this race. Give us something to work with please!

  • Comments: this is a fantastic race. last year it was at the mall of america. i prefer this course. more challenging, longer, and no no-passing zone! not as spectator friendly here, but the kids still had a great time. bettered my times for everything compared to last year, despite not feeling ready (http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/forums/thread-view.asp?tid=26864) this was julee's first multi-sport event (she's a road racer), and she's HOOKED! she wanted to race tri-u-mah next year now. woo hoo!
