  • Comments: I was amazed at all of the volunteers at this race. They were all very encouraging during every leg. Without them, I might have given up. You guys rock! Thank you, thank you, thank you!!

  • Comments: I LOVE this race. Great first race of the season since it's local and all women and FLAT. It's a GREAT race for first-timers, too. About my only complaint (and the only reason I won't give it a "5") is that there's always a huge line to get back into transition to get bikes. Seems that they should be able to make that better. But - we still have to consider that they're letting us back in and there are still people racing! so - I guess they're trying not to flood the transition area with people who might get in the way.

  • Comments: The delayed start time was a factor that couldn't be helped. Can't argue with mother nature. I like this race. Well organized, friendly people.. a nice race to begin the season. I am pleased with my performance, especially the swim. I actually knocked over 2 minutes off my swim time from last year. Overall I dropped 7 min and 43 sec from my last year's time. My goal was to finish under 1 hr 25 min and I did 1:25:07, pretty darn close.

  • Comments: This is still a great race for beginners and it's fun to be out there with so many women. However, it's incredibly crowded and a bit frustrating to really try to race (unless you're really out there in front). If I do this race again, it will be because I've convinced some friends to do their first triathlons. And it will be for fun and only for fun. :)

  • Comments: The start was not on time, but that wasn't the organizers' fault but good old Mother Nature's. See above.
