  • Comments: Reeds lake has been my favorite race the last 2 years and this year was no different. The atmosphere and volunteers were terrific. I was able to shave about a minute and a half off of my time from last year but was still disappointed in my performance overall. There are a lot of fast people who show up for this race and it is very competitive. It is a good race for me to end on for the year and I will be back next Sept.

  • Comments: I am giving this race an average rating based on what I expect out of a triathlon. If I were new to triathlons, this would easily be a best rating. There are a ton of newbie's at this race. Few of my friends stopped doing this race because of that. It's not a bad thing it just creates some frustrations. Example would be my rack area. It was a train wreck. The guy next to me had his helmet on one side of the bike and running shoes on another. There was another guy that set up his transition under neath the rack, in a spot another bike should have gone. I have no issues with people learning triathlons, one just has to have a patient mentality when doing this race. 2011 was by far the worst experience, especially on the bike.
