  • Comments: I really had a great time! It was a great race for beginners and I thought it was organized. The chips and body marking could have been faster. The worst part was not having enough bathrooms. I really enjoyed my first Tri. I can't beleive I did it! Awesome!

  • Comments: I definitely enjoyed this race and will seriously consider it for next year as an opener for the season. The Detroit and Windsor skylines were a great backdrop and overall the race seemed fairly well organized. I understand there were limited bathroom facilities but luckily my bodily functions were cooperating with me well that morning :) I'm also glad I got there a little early since the lines for body marking and timing chips got really long really fast.

  • Comments: This was a poorly organized race. With the cryptic prerace emails to the crappy markings/chip organization to the wave designation this should have been better put together.

  • Comments: The debacle of toilets, body marking and chip pickup at the beginning was a bit stressful. They could have used more volunteers. My feeling as well on the run course. The gal in front of me 100 yards asked a spectator if she was going the right way. From about .25 until mile 1 I felt a bit sketchy about where I was headed. Map on website is pathetic, in this day and age of Gmaps, etc.
