  • Comments: I had an awesome experience and was very pleased with the encouragement I got from some of the racers. I was surprised how good I felt in the last run portion to the point that I said to myself "what's going on here, did Floyd Landis put something in my Cytomax?" I am pleased because I expected to try and survive the run and actually did good for me and I expected to be strong on the bike and I was. Other than that, last year this time (9-9-06) I was having my heart disected for major valve replacement and a pacemaker job. I'll take it. Oh yeah, I won 3rd place.

  • Comments: This was the race of my dreams! It all turned out as I had hoped for me and my brother. Goals: Pass a few people in the swim; Pass a few people on the hills on the bike. Both accomplished. A bonus goal was to try to make it under 2 hours and I did. Very pleased! Oh, I almost forgot to mention that the awesome event organizer PERSONALLY put an ice-water soaked towel around my neck at the finish! (I wondered if I looked THAT pathetic that he felt the need to help me himself...hmmm? ;-)

  • Comments: Great race! Very very well-organized, tons of volunteers, and overall a great race atmosphere. Course was well-marked and maintained, and just enough of a good challenge for me. I'd definitely do this race again.

  • Comments: Great park, great roadway for the bike, a little crowded on the run trail (mostly people running in while I was "running" out). I want to come back and give it a go again next year. I have to work on my bike skills, and now have a goal and a year to get ready.

  • Comments: This was the first race I came in top three of my age group. It was a great accomplishment for me and it shows that training is paying off. I never in my wildest dreams would have thought I would I would be getting a podium finish in my first year of triathlon. I love this sport and I love everyone involved in it. Its a great family to be a part of. I am just really happy and I feel great about myself.

  • Comments: Race seemed well run, to a newbie. Definitely a great location and great weather. They need to add a megaphone or PA down at the swim start as the commands and wave announcements were hard to hear. Overall this was a great event and a terrific effort by all involved in running it.
