  • Comments: Like I said in my report, I don't know if I will come back to this race. My bike broke because of the terrible roads. There were huge bumps that you just couldn't avoid and I am pretty bummed by that. It's been my favorite race so I will have to think about it next spring. It is a really great event though.

  • Comments: I've never done this race before and overall I thought it was very well run. They seemed to have plenty of very nice and enthusiastic volunteers and organizers. The weather was beautiful which always helps to make race day more enjoyable. I'm glad I signed up even though it was last minute. I'm wondering if there were a smaller number of athletes this year. I thought this race would have been bigger. It is a long walk from parking to transition which I normally wouldn't mention but since this is where I tripped over my bike while I was walking to transition I thought I would mention it.

  • Comments: Weather was ideal and that always helps. First time at this race and had heard good things and in general was good. Food was basic, though. Thanks to all that volunteered.

  • Comments: Great location, nice people, plenty of volunteers, decent food. Few waves on the lake, pretty flat bike ride, and very flat and beautiful running path. And a nice warm sunny June day in Wisconsin... sweet! My goal was to complete a sprint tri (namely the Pewaukee event in July) in less that 1 1/2 hours. Didn't guess I'd beat that goal at this event! Although maybe the fact that the course was very flat and my swim wave was only 33 folks (so no jostling around to speak of) helped... hopefully I can hit 1 hour 30 minutes again in a month at Pewaukee. At any rate - I honestly just wanted to finish this one. After reviewing my results in the novice group (which in my opinion weren't all so novice - one guy I spoke with from my wave had completed over 20 sprints and an oly - and will run a HIM in 2 weeks) I find that until the run I was consistently in the top 4 (even with my slow transitions) - after T2 and as I began my run I was actually in 2nd place in the mens novice group! Sweet
