Comments: This is a great inexpensive local race with a nice downstream swim, a fun bike course, and a nice flat run course. The race was well-organized, with a well marked course and plenty of volunteers, including Columbia Basin Dive Rescue out in the river for the swim which is nice to have. There was only one drink station, that you could hit twice on the run, but I think that was plenty.
Speaking as a first-timer, this is a great race for a beginner, and would also be good for someone who wanted to do a fun, low-key mountain bike tri for a change of pace.
