  • Comments: I do this race for the camraderie but not for the course. Its just too big to be have it be my best race, the transition area is huge, the swim course and bike course is crowded. I usually have a great time and like just being able to have fun there. Unfortunately, the rain kind of dampered the spirits a bit.

  • Comments: I will definitely do Danskin again. I've never done an all-female event and the energy was very different, very positive. Definitely the best organized event I've been to.

  • Comments: There are some things I saw on the race that will stick with me. The three women behind me, including Julianne, hugging each other as they realized they all belonged to the "one boob" club. The swim angel making her way over to one of those women who still didn't have full range of motion from her mastectomy. Sally Edwards giving us our word and cheering us on like we were the first wave, the best wave, and the most important wave. Julianne comforting a panicked swimmer. The man before the swim bolting around trying to figure out what wave his mother was in so he could help her find her place. The spectators lining the swim exit cheering and hollering as if we were Olympic Athletes. The volunteers helping women with flat tires on the bike. A crowd of women helping up a rider who crashed. The beautiful grey of Lake Washington from the bridge on the bike. The volunteers thanking us...THANKING US! Sports Jelly Bellies! The volunteer high fiving women on both sides. The older heavy lady

  • Comments: I am glad I did the race, since signing up for it was what started me on the course to doing triathlons. However, I don't think I will do it again, as the logistics were very annoying and spending most of two days to do the race was too much. Perhaps if the weather had been better, I would have felt differently, but there still would have been 4000+ competitors and it would have still been crowded!!! So far, I like the smaller races....although I appreciate the mark that the Danskin has left on the tri world.
