  • Comments: Great race. One of my favorites. I actually 'raced' this year rather than just trying to finish. Nice 'small' venue. A good opportunity to just hang around and visit with folks. Very relaxing race.

  • Comments: The packet pickup on thursday made me nervous as it was a bit unorganized, but I thought the race itself was wonderful. The bodymarking, chip pickup, process was great. Lots of food after the race,etc. I have no complaints.

  • Comments: This is one of the best-run races around, and this was the fourth time I've competed. I really like the venue, the course, and the competition, so I'll keep coming back. A big thanks to the volunteers!

  • Comments: Well run race... they held transition closed till the last rider was in, but then immediately started taking down the fences, so little to no security for the gear. Didn't hear of any issues. Will definitely be back!

  • Comments: No one is more surprised than me at my finish time. I expected to come in around 3-3.5 hours. The bike and run were actually shorter than a 50k and 10k, so that might be part of it. Still, it was a great race. My friend Jay came along as race support which helped motivate me to get in the water. I always want to chicken out when standing in line to go in. The swim always looks so daunting. This race should hopefully help me realize that I can actually swim the distance and not panic.
