  • Comments: Another good HFP event. Water was cold, but OK once you get started. Just do a swim warm up before the start!

  • Comments: If I could change anything it would be the swim. May be the only thing that keeps me from doing this race again. Everything else about it was great. The people and weather were awesome!

  • Comments: I enjoyed this race despite the crazy swim. However I really really really want my transition times. How can I tell if I've improved if I don't have my transition times. Blargh.

  • Comments: I did well in 2/3rds of the triathlon. I hit my goal of finishing the run under 7 min miles. I hit my goal of being in the top 15% out of the water. I missed my goal of breaking 21 mph on the bike. The swim is weird. The run is nice and flat. The bike course had some rough patches but was a fast track for others. If I can get the bike under some control and squeeze 1-1.5 mph out of it, I could be pushing into the top 3

  • Comments: I was very happy with the volunteers at this race. They did great and did very well making me feel safe on the bike. They stopped traffic very well and the course was marked really well. Post race food was perfect for me. They had chocolate milk. What else could you need??? :) I ended up 38 out of 308

  • Comments: I thought that the Tri for Joe people were great and did a wonderful job of putting together a friendly and non-intimidating event. I was especially impressed with Joe's Dad who reminded me of "Scobby-doo" where one guy dressed up as every character in the mystery (except that Joe's dad is not a "bad guy") But I swear there were 3 of him! Great job!

  • Comments: I'm extremely happy with my race. I knocked just over 10 minutes off of last year was pretty pumped when I saw the results. If I can knock another 10 minutes off by next year I'll be taking home some hardware.

  • Comments: This was my first tri and a last minute decision. Got the last open slot the morning of the race. I had a great time and plan on doing it again. Great if you are new to the sports and want a little introduction. Not an intimidating event and a great early season warmup.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed this race. The pool was quite different, but fun and the flat bike and running routes made for a fast race, and everything was well organized. I would definitely do this race again

  • Comments: I am glad I did this, it was a good race for me. I was disappointed by my lack of training (more correctly lack of PROPER training.) I have done a tri now, and now I can work on getting more base training in. Working on building that core running and swimming ability. I had been toying with moving up to a OLY distance in August, but I think I will stay with Sprints this year, and maybe work on increasing speed and endurance over the winter. Maybe after I drop another 15 pounds that will help some as well.
