• Comments: After a rocky start (my packet had been given to the wrong person and wouldn't be available for me until race morning) I was really impressed with the organization of this all-volunteer organized (non-profit) race. As promised, one of the race organizers had my packet all ready when I arrived this morning, even with the correct size race premium that wasn't available when I had originally tried to pick up my packet. Even though this is a smaller race (and competed with the much larger Nations Tri on the same morning) it was extremely well-organized, executed and the volunteers were wonderful. There were a few places on the courses where there could have been additional volunteers directing racers but I understand how hard it is to find volunteers and the race organizers did a good job spreading them out as well as possible. The post-race food was some of the best I've had at a race. I will definitely do this race again next year.

• Comments: I got 8th in my age group and 44th out of 300 men. I told myself to be really happy with top 10 in my age group and try to PR all 5 times. I did all of this and I feel great about it.

• Comments: over all a great race. i have already emailed them my suggestions for improvements. 1.) swag needs to be re-sized. i am so tired of getting cool stuff and having a small not be a small. 2.) get the results up the same day 3.)don't do the swim waves according to some secret formula 4.) ages on the calves other than those things, it was a great race. so nice having such a great course and great attendance in our own backyard.
