  • Comments: I liked local atmosphere, reasonable number of participants, spacious transition, and well organized course. Registration and packet pick up was available on the race day. No info about swimming waves assignment posted ahead of time. Good course for first timers and there were many of them.

  • Comments: No zebra muscle cuts this year! That's a first in 3 years! Fun race and great for newbies. Rain really messed things up for race director and participants but all in all fun day. By the time I headed home, it was absolutely gorgeous out!

  • Comments: I like all the Midwest events. If there was one thing I would like to see improved on it would be the waves sorted by age group, or if that is logistically to hard have body marking add age group. Other than that very nice event.

  • Comments: What started as a miserable morning ended up being a sunshine day. As always enjoyed time with my friends. A 15 minute PR for this race was just icing on the cake. Rock on!

  • Comments: I had a ton of fun for my first tri! My goal was under 1:40, which I accomplished, just not by much! I can't wait to improve though. I think the race was great, too. It really is the perfect first tri for anyone!

  • Comments: I don't know if I'll do this race again next year. But it's an ok race. Seems the sprint has grown while the olympic has waned in participants. Those zebras really bummed me this year...more so than past years. Not enough water, post race food didn't appeal to me, no mats covering concrete from water to transition, no bathing caps (hey, i know there are cut backs but too many people didn't have them anyhow), and need more portopotties.

  • Comments: The best part of the weekend is that my son Nick took second in his age group on Saturday! His first tri trophy. To watch him have so much fun I'm sure motivated me to do my best on Sunday. Overall a great weekend.

  • Comments: This race needs a novice division. There are a LOT of beginners doing it, and it would be really helpful to not have to navigate through them all.

  • Comments: Nice race overall. Maybe I'll do the Olympic next year since the swim is shorter than most Olympics. But then I'd better get practicing those OWS. ;)
