  • Comments: Absolutely loved this race! Great home town feeling, with folks cheering you on from every street corner. The bike loop is perfect for this. Spectators get a good view of swim, bike and the final loop of run around the football stadium. Would have liked to see more mile markers on the run - tough to follow course since run volunteers left early. It's tough being in the last wave - everyone leaves and the awards are nearly over by the time you get back :( everything is done.....still I would do it again. Nice race!

  • Comments: The hometown race. So this will stay on my calendar as long as I can do it. I was cold and raining in the moring. So, there were a few hindred racers that didn't even start. There was also a need for volunteers. On the bike course, way too many intersections were unmanned and the run course had 1 less aid station this year. But you can't blame volunteers. The Race Directors apparantly lost the volunteer list. I love this race. It's a chance for everyone to show what they are made of on home turf. It was great to have a lot of FeXY teammates out there on the course and volunteering. I am so proud of how my season has gone. Couldn't have asked for anything more. And to see Lisa once again, place in her age group and for her to throw down the #1 Female bike time is incredible. Team Albrecht - the Premier Married Triathlon Couple in Reston.

  • Comments: This was our first time doing this race. Pros: local, good swag, familiar bike course, good post race food, prompt awards Cons: rough roads, not enough volunteers on the run, communication The thing that made this race was our team. We had 30 team members racing with countless others volunteering and cheering. There were always people cheering, yelling your name or yelling FeXY. It was so amazing to have that much support on the course. Quite an amazing group of people we have and I feel lucky to be a part of it.

  • Comments: they really needed more sentries on the run. there were a few intersections that were unmanned and it become a matter of looking for the old, painted arrows. I know of a competitor who took a wrong turn, got lost and DNFed. this should not have happened. otherwise, great race.
