  • 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.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • 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.

  • Comments: Liked the band and food ops at the finish. Great venue and easy parking. Enjoyed the race weekend concept and how the whole town got behind it. Very well organized and felt very safe on the bike and run courses.
