  • Comments: This is a well run event. Waves went off on time. It was a nice course. Transition set up did not favor my group as we were at the far end and all in/out was on the opposite side. After not racing for a long time I just wanted to go out and do it to get back.

  • Comments: They had to cancel the Tri portion of the race do to E. Coli bacteria levels too high in the water to be safe to swim in. This was my first Duatlon, so pretty happy with the results overall. Hats off to the Tri-Shark workers and volunteers putting on a great event under the unforseen circumstances of the water and the storms that passed through during set up!!!!

  • Comments: Swim portion of triathalon ended up being cancelled due to high levels of e.coli in the water so event was changed to duathalon. Ended up being my first duathalon. Was good race for my first du but still prefer tri. Hats off to tri sharks for putting on a great event despite cancelled swim!

  • Comments: I really feel like my mental focus was great at this race. I was constantly evaluating and keeping my focus on my goal times (I reeeeally wanted the shark trophy, haha). I had to dial it back on the bike a few times to save up energy -- riding the course ahead of time paid off. I had a lot of fun at this race. It was well-produced and supported. None of my teammates were there for it, but a lot of other tri clubs were well-represented, and a lot of people stuck around to cheer the later finishers. It was a good first race of the season.

  • Comments: Really think that race direcrors have to adjust to conditions. One the run, there was only 1 drink station that you could hit on the way out and on the way back. Given the temps and direct sunlight, one at the turnaround would have been helpful in addition to the other one. Otherwise the race was well organized.

  • Comments: Could not hear pre-race instruction as the crowd was too loud and the bull horn was not loud enough. Other than that this was a great race and I intend on participating in 2011.
