  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was my first triathlon and did it 10 months after my final radiation treatment for breast cancer. In general, it was a great experience. I beat every goal I had. The Expo & Packet pick up took much longer than I anticipated. Next time, I would wait until later to go (instead of first thing) so there are no lines. We got to Meydenbauer just at opening and the line was around the building. We waited almost an hour just to get in. On race day, I was glad that we got dropped off and picked up at park. Traffic was a nightmare and if we had to catch a shuttle and then go back to pick up our bikes, it would have taken all day. As it was, it took over an hour to get to the freeway. Carpooling is a great way to go!

  • Comments: Overall, this was my first Sprint and I really wanted to finish under 2 hrs. I missed it by 5 minutes but given that I messed up a quad and had a transition spot in another state, I'm giving myself a break and just enjoying that I finished!

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Very crowded, probably good for a recreational athlete or a beginner. It was nice for me to use as a training race, but I won't do it again unless I have a beginner friend who wants me to do one with them. Quite the estrogen-fest.
