  • Comments: I don't want to be too harsh, but I am going to list all the negatives of this race right here... - weeds in the water...not just a few random weeds either. In the shallower water (first & last 100-200 yards), the weeds are up to the surface of the water in in your face, mouth, everything - thick. And they were present the whole way, by your hands as you get deeper, but still there. - probably due to those weeds, I got some nasty swimmers itch from this race...I've never had this before, but every part of my body that was not covered by a wetsuit has little red pimples that itch. A sleeveless wetsuit means this is pretty much my entire arms. - no cold water or gatorade after the race. at least not that I could find. that's all I wanted, but all they had were 80-degree little cups of water available. - no finisher's medal. not a big deal, but i always think the medals are nice and would like to add to my collection. - bumpy bike course. not terrible, but very little

  • Comments: The race was run real well, but there were weeds when told they were removed. The roads were real rough. those are the only negatives I have. The run is very nice and quick. I would consider it again tho.

  • Comments: They need to have something to eat other than Seattle Sutton pre-packaged crud. Thankfully, it was a Tri Club race so we had our own food!

  • Comments: This was my first sprint ever. These races are just too short to give up a weekend of Ironman training, but its cool to be able to hammer knowing that its so short. I entered the elite wave, so I have no clue what my age group placings were for each leg (results gave overall AG place only) Nice race venue..just hope the swimmer's itch doesn't hit me in the next couple of days.

  • Comments: Very well organized. Aid on the run was pretty sparse, but still OK. Food afterwards was great. Givaways were plentiful, but couldn't manage to get my name drawn.
