  • Comments: So happy with my performance on my first olympic distance race - swim was great. Yes, the water was warm but not as horrible as some thought it was. Was not really much hotter than swimming in a pool. Guess if you are used to swimming in the ocean then it would be hot at 90 degrees. Amazed I did so well on the bike. I wanted to finish the race under 3 hours and definitely accomplished that - now only room to get faster and better!

  • Comments: CGI puts on a high quality event. Larry and Michele pay attention to details and it really shows. I've done this race in 2006, 2007 and now 2013. I can say that they have it down to a science. Even with the new bike route due to road work, the event still went off without any hitches. Highly recommend this event!

  • Comments: Great race, as expected. CGI puts on very well organized, well thought-out races. Never any doubt as to the correct direction to go on the bike or run courses - plenty of signage, volunteers, and police support. Was also impressed by the buoys on the swim course that were marked every 100M - I've never seen that before at any other race.

  • Comments: I have to give my kudos to CGI. I was somewhat turned off by CGI a few years ago with the Diva triathlon and Unite half marathon. However, this race was excellent and well organized. The volunteers are first class and am looking forward to doing this again. My only comments for "areas of improvement" are (1) could have used a water station at the "run out" transition. The fact that the next water station was over a mile out was pushing it, especially given the heat and humidity; (2) instructions to participants in pre-race information that they cannot hog the bike racks. Athletes need to understand that 7 bikes fit on the rack; not three to four; (3) awards ceremony was too late. My partner actuially won her age group but there was no way we could wait for an hour and a half until the ceremony took place. Once again though, great race!
