  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I'm going with average on this one for a couple reasons... this race used to be held on base but after Boston it was cancelled last year and had to move this year. So they had to find a new location, I get that. They did a nice job of having a police presence and closing a lane. But stupid Albuquerque drivers make being on busy streets like this unsafe. And having essentially half the bike course be one big hill, not really digging that either. I appreciate their attempt to relocate this race but I'm not sure I'd do this one again with this same course.

  • Comments: Good job done by Chasing3 - even though it was the first time at this location, it felt like they had it all figured out.

  • Comments: New venue for Jay Benson which is the most popular race in New Mexico. Tough course but still a lot of fun. West Mesa Pool is great. Some great competition and somewhat of a pro field so I feel great about my placement, even though there is plenty of room for improvement.

  • Comments: I like the course for this whole race. The run course and the bike course are fun and interesting and the 50 meter pool is a great one for a tri. The event was well organized with maybe the exception of the log-jam to get on base. This one also has assigned transition spots which I LOVE!

  • Comments: The race went smoothly and seemed well-run. My only complaint is that the guys loitering in my transition area should have never been there in the first place -- someone with the race should have told them to get out of there (they certainly didn't look like 25-29 females).

  • Comments: It was well organized event with plenty of volunteers. I think my only complaint would be with the timing - results were slow to post, there seems to be many glitches in the data, and my friend's race data is completely absent (big bummer). I'll be back next year!

  • Comments: race timing needs chip start as well as finish. There were 3 waves this year (a change), and it's clear from the results that some were in the wrong wave.
