  • Comments: Really a well done event. I understand Rev3 had some issues with the inaugural event, but from all I saw, they paid very close attention to correcting those issues this year. I really would have preferred an aide station for the bike course, but understand that resources are somewhat limited. I prefer to have a beer at the finish, but understand licensing for such thing can bee tricky. I loved the finisher Visor. May be my favorite finisher gift ever. The long-sleeve cotton t-shirt kind of sucks though. I don't even like the "flesh colored" color. Still, I am seriously considering doing this event next year... maybe even the HIM, though can't imagine the temps/conditions being a perfect as they were today.

  • Comments: I met my all my segment goals for the race which meant I bettered my overall goal of sub-2:30:00, too - 2:28:42. That was good enough for second in my AG, and the REV3 tri bling that I won would've made Flavo Flav himself proud! The overall winner finished in just under two hours - 1:58:04. He was showered, dressed, and on his second cup of Joe when he met me at the finish line 30 minutes later. I hate that guy! REV3 puts on a good race. I rated this particular event a 4 because it wasn't quite as good as REV3 Knoxville for two reasons: 1. REV3 Knoxville finished in a mown field at the Worlds Fair Park, which was very nice. REV3 Williamsburg finished in the parking lot of a sports complex, which was anything but nice. No shade, plenty of heat island effect, and just plain hot! No cool grass under our bare feet afterwards like in Knoxville : ( 2. REV3 Williamsburg included a 20-minute bus ride between T2 and T1 the morning of the race because the two spots were separated

  • Comments: I love Rev 3. I love having 2 transition areas, it's a more spectator friendly venue and a fun event.
