  • Comments: The first part of the run just needs to be marked a bit better. There are a few turnoffs, and though they marked the trail with pink arrows sprayed in the dirt, they were partially covered by the time I came through.

  • Comments: This was a women's only triathlon and an Anchorage tradition. Lots of first time triathletes on the course and a very warm, inviting atmosphere. I would highly recommend it as a first triathlon for anyone! Definitely felt different than some of the other tri's I have participated in! All the volunteers rocked! One note - I hate pool swims and with a late bib number I didn't even get to start till almost 4pm. After waiting on deck for close to an hour, when it finally was my turn I think my motivation had waned! I hate pool swims.....

  • Comments: It is much more fun to race with family and friends. I miss that in Oregon! So nice to have folks cheering you on and waiting for you at the finish line. Supportive race.

  • Comments: Great race for a first-timer -- "fun fitness" and women's only atmosphere make this event very approachable for a slow, scared newbie. Great feeling of camaraderie & encouragement from the faster competitors (i.e., everyone else in the field).

  • Comments: I rated this race as best bcuz the comraderie and support each participant receives is the best. It is a good fun atmosphere. Even sweating at T2. Post race activity is average about all there is watching others finish. However, Carol & Cathy set up a great area for our team to hangout and that gets above above average or good rating! Sun came out and that really helped too. I think Carol & Cathy arranged that too!
