  • Comments: Really like the new venue. Swim course was not a problem despite the winds, even thought the gulf had rip tide warnings. Bike felt safer to me. Run course had no sand/beach. Plenty of drinks and nutrition on the run course. Volunteers out there until the end. Definitely recommend this race.

  • Comments: Like the race. Run in the sand was a surprise was it was ok. Loved the swim wave order. Bike check in the night before made it easier. Seemed very secure. Hope they get a bigger crowd next year. I really like this distance and there aren't many, mostly sprints.

  • Comments: This was an awesome race! I really enjoyed the small, local feel of the event. There were only about 200 triathlon participants and 100 duathlon participants. So it was really cool to see Heather Gollnick out there on the beach before the race, out on the bike course, and even saw her headning back out on to the beach for another run as I was finishing up and she had obviously already finished. She told me to "nice job" as she passed by. She really seemed to be enjoying herself. I will definitely keep this race in mind for next year. I think I may enjoy these smaller events more than the larger corporate affairs.

  • Comments: Summary: This was their first year running this event and they did a spectacular job. The goodie bag was worth the entrance price, the course was excellent, the transition area was set up nice, well organized, good food, medals, awards and music. Good day! After I got the results I was really happy with my over place and then quickly realized the competition gets a lot tougher when you go from Sprint to an Olympic triathlon. Even with my personal best performance, I only finished 17th out of 27th. However, I did finish in the top half overall and I'm very pleased with my performance. Now back to the business of my first 70.3 in 8 days. Whew.

  • Comments: I was thrilled with this race. Probably one of the best-organized races I've done. Got to meet up with Mark, meeting BTers is always a pleasure. I was so happy that Vinny (dlugiwarriors) and the family came down to cheer me on. He was the LOUDEST GUY ON THE COURSE!! It was really awesome having someone loud to cheer me on. THANKS VIN!!! I had a great time at this race, can't wait to beat that time next year. I have nothing but good thoughts about the day, even though the swim was crazy. Guess I kinda feel like the St. A's people now. Didn't get to meet up with Ty Darby, but that's probably because I was so rushed in getting out of there to get out to Disney. Looks like he had a comparable race at 2:36:23. Way to go Ty! I'd definitely do this one again. Lots of fun! Yay for my first Oly!!! Woohoo!!!!
