  • Comments: This race has a great vibe - very friendly and supportive. Tons of volunteers cheering you throughout the race. Overall, I still finished 3 out of 16 in my age cat, but I was a 1:04 faster, and I picked up a little in each event (13 seconds faster in swim, 27 seconds faster in bike, and 23 seconds faster in run) I am happy with this. This year: registered for 5:35 swim time the family team is registered for 3:15 so next year, I should go for 5:28? Helen should go for 3:12?

  • Comments: I did this race because it is known as a good beginner's race. I agree, it was. It is small, not highly competitive, well organized, lots of friendly volunteers. My biggest complaint is the bike mounting/dismounting. You have to run with your bike in your cycling shoes a fair distance, and it's time consuming and tiring. But the course itself is not too hard.

  • Comments: The challenge of triathlon is to balance the three sports. I worked hard on my swim for this race, but at the expense of running. I don't know why my bike time was so much better than previous years. Conditions? Me? I wish we got separate timings for transitions.

  • Comments: Beautiful course, friendly people. Based on my performance this year plus my old swim results, I would have come in 1st or 2nd in my age category... I beat the age cat. winner in biking by 5 minutes but she beat me in running by 2 minutes. So it would come down to the swim, and I will never know how I would have done this year...

  • Comments: This was pretty good for my first Triathlon. They did start 20 minutes late, but it was not a big deal. I will be coming back for this one next year!

  • Comments: A fun race for the early season! I was totally exhilerated after I finished. I felt like I could go around again! I was 106th overall, but 30th out of 138 women. I think I could cut 2 min. from bike leg and 1 from run. So when I look at the results and cut 3 minutes from my time, I would move from 106th overall to 76th place. That is a big difference!

  • Comments: First time completing the course - last year was a relay with Nikki, I did the swim and bike. Very disappointing swim, OK bike ride, good run. The race got progressively better. :)

  • Comments: I love this race as my first of the season, but I have to admit that it is bare bones. You go to race here to get a taste of the sport, see friends and do a quick assessment for the season (see if the winter's training was good). I feel that this race is an awesome way to get into this sport and love to see the first timers here. Thanks to my BT friends and I hope they had as much fun as I did! See you on the course!

  • Comments: Well run event. There were a couple of spots that were hairy - I ran into another racer when she was entering the finish area, and I was leaving T2 - I tried to stay right, but she was hugging the curb. There were some parts that I thought could have had cones or signs or a better explanation of how it would work. I would have liked to have seen the course beforehand but nothing was posted.
