  • Comments: Great race for a first-timer like me. Course layout and structure was good. Bike course was a little narrow, three laps was somewhat an issue due to merging traffic coming in off the hill.

  • Comments: I give this race a 4, when it really deserves a 3, simply because of where it is and who does it out of the people I know. I am blessed to train with some very talented people, and saw my friends take 4th in 50-54, 3d in 45-49, 1st and 2d in 30-34, 1st in 40-44 Note to RD next year - DON'T use the plastic bands for timing chip bands. Ended up with a cut on my ankle from the frigging thing....... Also, no swag bag? I mean, 90% of it gets thrown away but I still keep the mini bottles of sunscreen or whatever.

  • Comments: This race was a rollercoaster for me. On the negative side, I had a rough swim, I felt tired, I was slow in transition, my bike gears failed, I lost a water bottle, and I didn't have any friends or family there to cheer me on. On the plus side, I got my personal best on the bike and a much improved personal best on the run. When I started this whole triathlon training thing, I was afraid that I'd barely survive a sprint tri. Now I know that even on a day where I feel like crap, I can still finish a race and even pull off some good times. I just need to keep the negative attitude in check. Whenever I get discouraged again in a race, I'll remember the race where I almost quit, then went on to get two of my best times.

  • Comments: Good local race. Very newbie-friendly. Not the place to set a PR. Bike course is an obastacle course.

  • Comments: Great Race. Close to home and always friendly to new athletes. Felt comfortable racing despite being sick and knowing performance would not be great.

  • Comments: This is the traditional end of the season race around here. Most everyone does it and it's just like a big party. Last year I went 1:13:39. This year 1:08:50, good enough for what turned out to be second in the Clyde 225+. Say what you will about the various Clyde age groups, getting on the podium is a goood thing :)

  • Comments: I think they could improve the bike course by limiting some parking and the run course by setting up the entrance better (see notes above). Also would like more info on the website prior to race (age division detail)

  • Comments: Nice local race. Went very smoothly. It is definitely a small time event and the race director emphasized that this isn't a place to set a record and I think most people took it to heart (there are always some hardcore folks that always have to go 100% all the time). Last triathlon of the season for me and I am looking to go back and PR at them all next year. I was secretly shooting to be in the top 1/3 of my age group which would have required shaving a minute and 40 seconds off which I can easily do next year. I want to graduate to a FMOP (front middle of the pack).

  • Comments: Don't know how to rate because it was my first - nothing to compare it to - but it seemed like a well-organized race with volunteers in transition area helpful answering questions. Looking forward to my next race - pretty much hooked.
