  • Comments: This is my forth Pleasant Prairie race and I am disappointed with it. Although, there was nothing we could do about the weather, race organizers surely could do a much better job with setting up more add stations with sport drinks (not only water), especially on the 10K run. Food and post race activities very poor.

  • Comments: This was my second international and third race in Pleasant Prairie. I like this event and will do it next year too. This was a perfect Father's day celebration as my son did a sprint distance. It would be nice to have sports drink on the run course, especially on such a hot day like today. There was not so much food left for late finishers like me, but overall very nice day.

  • Comments: Overall a good race. I really like the swim (or at least I think I would have liked it if we had been able to do the larger Oly triangle) and bike course. The transition area is very convenient. Lots of good volunteers especially on the run. Just wished that they had had gatorade at the drink stations. According to past race reports they have had it so I don't know what changed. I don't know much about the post-race festivities since we were just ready to leave due to how late it was. Also surprised that they didn't just cancel the swim - granted the swim is my fav part so I wouldn't want it to be cancelled! The frustration was more the just sit and wait. They kept announcing about seeing another buoy and that they will start immediately once it clears which is tough to adjust for when it is longer than 15 mins. I would have appreciated a set time delay so that we have an idea of what to do with our nutrition. So delay it in 30 mins or one hour segments - see how it is and then if needed

  • Comments: Very good race to practice at the beginning of a season and very friendly for beginners. Last year I did my first triathlon and first sprint distance there. This year my daughter joined me completing her first sprint. So within two years, three members of my family are in this fantastic sport. This event is in my annual schedule now:)

  • Comments: This is a great venue for a great race. The only suggestion made was to have an aid station on the gravel travel. It was stuffy and hot back there. :-)

  • Comments: Great race, great facility and always very well run. Only suggestion was their post-race food items were very limited with only bagels and bananas. Could have used a little bit more variety. However, IMO there is no doubt that this race is one of the better races in Wisconsin.

  • Comments: Really good race. The heat and sun were tough, but everyone had to deal with it. I would have liked to have gone a little faster, but I'm not beating myself up over it. I feel like I made good decisions and raced the various segments at the right level of effort. I felt pretty good in my first mile off the bike, so I don't think I rode too hard; it just got hot, and I need to get more comfortable in warmer conditions.

  • Comments: Wish the bike course was a little more spread out. It got pretty crowded at times, with super fast guys passing me on the left AND right even though I was way over to the right already. But, that was due to the construction and there probably wasn't much the organizers could do about it. Hopefully the construction will be done for next year's race!

  • Comments: I don't expect to place as high as I usually do in sprints as my distances increase, but I am pleased to report that I was in the top 30% of my AG which was a surprise. PP is a very competitive race (and 3 of the top 5 women were in my AG!!!) and Chicagoland is a very competitive area, so I feel really good about the day overall, despite minor mishaps and my personal buffoonery! Race gets a 4 instead of a 5 because the after party sucked. Also, if you must go on and on about your goody bag, please have a decent goody bag. I don't really care, I would be happy with nothing, but in fairness, the shirt is awful and with the exception of the medal, there was nothing else given away.

  • Comments: Overall was a great race. Felt it was well organized and routes were well marked. The race website touts a "great goodie bag". Not sure only an ugly rust orange shirt justifies this statement. Must be a surplus of this color overseas!

  • Comments: This was a good race and I felt good and had a good time. Weather was just about perfect. My only complaint, and it's a minor one that others probably wouldn't complain about, would be with the infrequent water stations on the run.

  • Comments: It's evident that Pleasant Prairie hosts a lot of triathlons because things were clearly organized and well run. In addition, with having sprint & International courses overlapping, the routes were clearly marked making turns and intersections easy to navigate even while speeding through quickly on a bike. I will definitely do this race again.
