  • Comments: Overall nice race. I use this race to test the water (no pun intended) prior to the Ironman which occurs in three weeks. The exit point and run to T1 are the same for B2B, as is T1.

  • Comments: Very nice race schema. I enjoyed it and was able to gain some insight on the upcoming HIM course, or at least the initial portion of each event. This was fun.

  • Comments: this is a big event - get there early so not stuck in lines for Body marking and bus shuttles. There were lots of volunteers, perhaps there could have been more. overall another awesome performance by Setup.

  • Comments: This was my first triathlon and I really enjoyed it. The atmosphere in the morning was great and it was very, very organized. I am racing again in 2013 and I'm excited to improve my overall time. I was in the novice group, so I was the last group to begin, so I'm not sure of the post-race activities, but I didn't see anything other than food and drinks for the racers. A lot of people were leaving as I was completing my final leg of the run and if that's the case, I think they should hold the activities until most people have finished. Also, some of the best races that I have competed in and ran have included a beer tent afterwards, which they did not. Instead, we walked to Lighthouse Beer and Wine across the street to celebrate a fabulous race!

  • Comments: If the pavement was smooth for the bike I'd give it 5 stars. I absolutely love the swim even though I'm the worst at it.

  • Comments: This course would have been a little easy without the long swim. This race has a beautiful venue and great volunteers. If you live in the area this is a must!

  • Comments: I enjoy events run by Setup Events. They do a nice job. The volunteers for both this event and Beach2Battleship, also sponsored/hosted by the Wilmington YMCA, are really awesome. Not only are they very competent at what they do, they are pleasant and genuinely enthusiastic cheerleaders. That makes the event so much better for the athletes!

  • Comments: Overall a good race for me to go out of triathlons on. Lost a little time on the bike due to slower cylists but with 1100+ participants that is to be expected. Ready to move on to duathlons as I have truly come to hate swimming even more as time has progressed.

  • Comments: Overall seemed like a good race, given the amount of competitors, could have been a little better post race but still very well for the amount of people there. I think I heard over 1400 total men and women.

  • Comments: I really could have enjoyed this race if I felt a little better. I spent way too much time in transition trying to recuperate. Oh well, there's always next year.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: There were 2 parts I didn't like: 1. I was new to a road bike, and having to ride over the drawbridge was not my idea of fun. It was extremely slippery and it took extreme concentration to not slip. I lined front wheel up with a line of grooves in bridge and went very slow.

  • Comments: This is my favorite race of the year. Kudos to Setup Events for putting on a fantastic event. My overall time was 10 minutes faster than last year and 3 minutes faster than 2008-the first year I did the race

  • Comments: Have a timing mat when you get out of the water for swim time and add the long run to your T1 time. A swim time is how long you SWIM not how long you swim and get out and run to the first timing sensor

  • Comments: Awesome first race! I didn't stay around for the post-race, so I can't really rate that. There is not overall times broken down by age group, so I don't have those ranks to put in my report. I can't wait to do some more!
