  • Comments: My goals coming into the race were: 1. Have another good OWS experience to set me up for a good showing at Patriot's. 2. Move through both transitions on auto-pilot and improve times. GOALS ACCOMPLISHED! My best swim time and transition time yet. I couldn't be more excited about my swim this time around. Set-up, as usual, does a great job at organization, support and after race goodies. My only complaint today was that due to being in the last starting wave and hence towards the rear of the finishers... all of the aid stations were out of Gatorade/HammerHeed. They only offered water. Not much to complain about on a sprint though. One of the most beautiful courses I've been on and will definitely consider this one again next year.

  • Comments: Hard race, but I enjoy that. Would like to see what I could have done without technical difficulties, and resulting cascade of bad decisions...

  • Comments: Need to train more - this is only my second race and it was more difficult than the first one I did in Richmond. But considering I have only 2 months of training under my belt, I'm pretty happy so far. I look forward to my next one in Dewey Beach.

  • Comments: Overall I'd say this is a great race. It is tough, the hills on both the bike and run are a lot unless you train on hills often. But it was well organized and there were plenty of volunteers to make sure everything went off without a hitch. The only negative was that there wasn't a sole checking the bikes as we left transition after the race. I'm not sure what happened but I always hate it when security is that lax!
