  • Comments: I beat myself up for awhile about this. Even hesitated on posting my report. With the exception of the swim the rest of the race went great. Fastest bike split outta 71 by over a minute. 2nd fastest run. I just know if the swim hadn't gone horribly awry I would have won my division. Oh well there will always be more races. I gotta give big props to Breckview and Dime who absolutely stomped this race. Also I gotta give it up to Dime again for the philosophy he was dropping via Blackberry.

  • Comments: I like the fact that the race is only 5-10 minutes from my house and they do packet pick-up race day. This is definitely a smaller (capped at 500) race that is friendly for the more casual triathlete -- there were still plenty of FAST people. Overall, I'll probably do this event next year as it is so convenient and fairly well run.

  • Comments: this is a fun race that's near my home. I like the fact I don't have to load my bike on the car and drive 30+ miles to race. Also, they had race day packet pick-up. I wish more races would do this! I hate making a drive just to pick-up a race packet! They did mis-measure the swim course but I'm not too bent out of shape over that (even though that is my worst event). Some fast guys at this race!

  • Comments: Great race and they gave away my Cervello P2C (the guy who won my AG won the bike!) I had a very solid race. I lost it on the swim, but like I said before, if the swim was the advertised distance, I would have done much better.

  • Comments: Race results took over a day to be posted, and the numbers seem off on some of their calculations... Plus they didn't post overall rankings. I would like to get a sense of how I did against the whole pack.

  • Comments: The bike course was really rough and I was surprised I didn't get a flat. The swim course was much longer than advertised, but that worked to my advantage since it was my strongest event. Overall a good race and will attend again next year.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Run into T1 was brutal Transition Area was not secure, but did not appear to be a problem Drink station on course needed to be further out (seemed to be at 3/4 mi and on 2-1/2 mile on back) or an additional station at turnaround.
