  • Comments: Great post race party. Met up with Laura and Marcie. One complaint- venue too far from parking. Had to push my son in the stroller all the way. At least there was a bus to go back to parking. Need a few more buses, one doesn't cut it. Next year I plan on doing this race myself.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Ill never call it "just" a sprint tri. Need to be mentally tougher. Heat is killer. Will definitly need to have hydration and nutrition plan for OLY. Need to wear / buy a tri-suit for oly. If i take away 13 minutes for tire change...would have been in top half of my age group.

  • Comments: The volunteers were outstanding, much thanks to them. Thanks also to Waukegan Fire and Police for all the support, they were great as well. I was impressed with the way this race was run, the actual events were very organized and outstanding. My biggest complaint is the way they handled getting to the actual event. No parking anywhere near the race, no bike drop offs, it sucked. To have to lug a heavy bag and a bike 2 miles in 100 degree heat after running a triathlon is brutal. It's really a small thing to nitpick though. I had a great time and will do this race again for sure.

  • Comments: Post-race picnic was good -- nice spread. Lots of raffle prizes as well, though I didn't win anything. Fairly well organized, I thought. Lots of volunteers. Two downsides: the first was no race day packet pickup - very inconvenient for those of us on the other side of the city. The second was that there really could have been an earlier start. 8am in the middle of the summer is TOO LATE! Start at least by 7am to mitigate some of the heat.
