  • Comments: This is a great, local race perfect for rookies and dedicated triathletes alike. The Charlottesville Tri Club does a great job of making it a family-friendly, fun event, and a good time is had by all year after year. If you've ever wanted to try a tri, this is the race for you! And if you're a vet in Central Virginia looking to test your mettle, there's plenty of serious triathletes, too. The race benefits the Charlottesville Women's Initiative, which is another good reason to register.

If you were in town you know it was a beautiful day for a race - relatively cool temps and low humidity - and the Jeff Sprint proved a relatively low-key event as these things go. Below are details about the race event along with some results. Skip to the bottom if you don't care about the inner-workings of the event itself. Swim… was 350 meters in the 50-meter Fry's Spring pool. Racers did a "running" start one at a time every fifteen seconds, which was a much more civilized way to race. Instead of a mosh pit like Richmond there was very little contact. We raced down-and-back in one lane before pushing off the wall, swimming under the lane divider, and then heading back the other way in the adjacent lane.

  • Comments: Nice race. Challenging course for a pool sprint. Thanks to all the volunteers and a special thanks to Shawn at Blue Ridge Cyclery who saved my day! They were also great to donate a bike to the cause - even Karen bought some raffle tickets.

  • Comments: It was overall a great race. Everyone was nice and helpful. Transition from pool to swim was differnt than my last one but I am sure to experience many differences as I do this more. For my second triathlon ever I am pretty happy and enjoyed myself
