  • 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.
