  • Comments: Overall the race needs to be planned better, even the swim. Looked alot longer than 1/2 mile. Not enough food afterward and overall course layout wasn't great. Wider paths for running (on the road) and people should not be allowed in transition area or on course while the race is on

  • Comments: The post race spread is not the greatest, but overall its not a bad event. It's close by and relataively inexpensive. I took almost 14 minutes off of my time from last year, and realize that Ironclad wa just a bad day for me.

  • Comments: To be honest, this is a short distance triathlon. There were many people with mountain bikes and beach cruisers; many people were doing their first triathlon; there were lots and lots of friends and family around -- this event is more of a small social affair than a race. Which is a good thing. Many people commented that in years past there was much more support. This year a glaring problem was zero port-a-potties, zero sports drinks during or after the race, and -- aside from bagels -- zero food. If this were an Olympic distance or greater, it would have been an utter fiasco. Despite the crowded bike and run, lack of race support, pot-hole ridden roads, it wasn't that bad a race. I saw lots of my tri friends and (as usual) made some new ones. I think the social aspect of this race, surrounded by friends, family, kids and the fact that it's a short race, make it a lot of fun despite the glaring fact the Race Directors dropped the ball this year.

  • Comments: This is a decent local race. A fair value for the money. A few things could have been better organized--for example, they had no portapotties. Relying on two small bathhouses' bathrooms for 750+ triathletes and their families is just silly. And not having any gatorade or sports drink on the run course for a triathlon in June is asking for trouble IMO. I'd do this race again, though.

  • Comments: I really didn't expect much due to lack of sleep leading up to the race, but all that went out the window when I hit the water. Just felt great. Outstanding race for me. My goal time was 1:30 and I just blew it out of the water. I just want to check the Garmin to verify distances. I think the bike was about right, but the run may have been 1/4 mile short. Not to minimize my performance, since I'm real happy with it, but to know for sure.

  • Comments: my first sprint! so much fun. overall, much easier than i thought. exceeded my goals even, which now that i know what a sprint feels like, should probably have been harder. transitions really fast – i’m sure helped by the smaller scale (774 instead of 3500) and easy conditions: flat, nearly currentless swim, no goggle problems, overcast, (no sunblock), less sweat, less nutrition. i’m sure i could have transitioned faster even. next time.
