  • Comments: This was my first race put on by Racine Multisports. They did a pretty good job. The venue is beautiful and the course is challenging, in the mountains. The volunteers were very enthusiastic and fantastic. The lake is too small for the swim and thus overly crowded. They also had timing issues, which is frustrating. It took several days to get accurate splits. Overall, this is a good race. I would do another Racine race.

  • Comments: I love Luray. It's a well run race in a beautiful location. It's tough, but that's what makes it so great. I was feeling pretty defeated at the end of the race, even though it was almost a 9 min PR because I thought I had my nausea issues worked out. I think next year I'll go for the double so that I don't feel the need to hit it so hard in the olympic.

  • Comments: I was really disappointed that the Athenas went almost last this year. For the most part bigger athletes mean slower times so to put us last meant a really sparse run course. Totally demoralizing. Having crowds and group energy is one of the things I like most about a race. It was so late by the time I got to the run they were actually picking up the volunteers from the course (and yes, it was way before the official course closing time). I liked it better last year when we were in the second wave.

  • Comments: This was a really tough course; definitely the most challenging that I have done so far. But it was a lot of fun and very well run. The scenery in Luray is absolutely beautiful. The post-race snacks were fair, but there was plenty available. I loved that they had a live band afterward.

  • Comments: I have to give props to Team FeXY and Team Z, getting up that last hill on the bike was brutal and those horns were hilarious. Also, the support from the aid stations on the run was great (thanks BT'rs). David G. put on a well organized race, hopefully next year I can do it a little better trained on the bike.

  • Comments: Set-up did a good job with this one. TONS of volunteers for this race. And plenty of water. I know that they were starting to run out in some spots, but I saw people delivering extra water. It was a hot day and a lot of people were dumping more water on their heads than drinking. Fun times with my team - Tom and I did a good job :)

  • Comments: The thing that really ticked me off, I mean I was hot! During the run, I understand that I'm slow and whatever but the race volunteers left the water stations! WTF? I'm still out here running around and it's kinda your job to help me out. It was just discouraging that they pretty much were closing down the course before I was done! Plus, it's not the races fault but the road to get out of the race was the same as the run course, so everyone who finished first were leaving already and all those cars on the road were annoying.

  • Comments: This is a good local race. Organized, tough competition and lots of volunteers. I'm not a big fan of loop courses for an Oly. It makes for a lot of congestion but I understand it makes it easier for the RD. It probably would have been better if I wasn't in the last swim wave. Overall though a good race.

  • Comments: Though this was a really hard race for me I have to say that I learned a lot about myself as a triathlete. Do I think this course was beyond my ability level? yes but I also think that it helped me realize where I need to put in the time and work. I did the best I could do on that day and I didn't leave anything out there.

  • Comments: I considered this a "C" race and a prep for Reston. Very disappointed that I didn't do better on the swim considering how much time I have worked on it but attribute it to sighting. I knew when the heart rate monitor got in the way that Murphy's Law would kick in so just roll with it. Glad I finished and looking forward to improving my time at Reston.
