  • Comments: Very good race, except for the short swim I really have nothing at all to complain about. The only bummer for me is I left early to get back home and see the family. I don't know if they did age group awards, but by some fluke turns out I was second in my age group!

  • Comments: This was my First Olympic and is my first season I have herd nothing but good things about this race and loved it very much. I ended up buying a spot from someone who could not attend and that was the only way that I could afford it as the price is rather steep. The shirt we received was really nice long sleeve nice material and very nice embroidering. The medal was a tad smaller than I thought it would be and is a bottle opener (I do not drink) However, I cannot complain as I got one and it was my first one! Overall the race was ran amazing the volunteers were great aid station was great transition area etc. The parking was only feet away really can not say enough good things.

  • Comments: Race expo is pretty meh, and no post-race massage tent. But AWESOME food selection, including coolers full of soda and beers! Not fancy beers, but beers nonetheless.

  • Comments: Great race, lots of volunteers. I will do this again...I am not done with this course. This was my first Olympic distance, third triathlon, first open water, worst 10K time and longest bike race. Time to focus on marathon training assuming that I can still run.

  • Comments: Overall, this being the second race at the Olympic distance, I felt pretty good, knocked 31 minutes off of the last race at this distance, and knew that with a little work on my hamstrings, could probably knock off another 5-10 minutes off of my time. Will definitely do this race again next year

  • Comments: So I was 14th of a possible 32 in my AG after the swim, which is by far my weakest leg. I passed at least half a dozen on the ride -- couldn't see #s on some people who were dressed warm (like me). I think I could have passed at least as many on the rest of the ride, and maybe some more on the run. That means I could possibly have podiumed this race. Oh well, next time!!

  • Comments: I love Jim's races. And I just found out he's doing an Iron distance race in 2009. Guess CDA isn't going to be my only Iron distance race! :) Also the swag was unbelievable - sweat resistant hat, long sleep jacket. Cool. I felt good on this race. It was a good barometer for me for my HIM. I'm well coached and trained. Just need a few more long runs and bikes and I'm good to go.

  • Comments: Wow. I think the whole official USAT crew was here today. The officials were everywhere. One stopped to visit with me while I was setting up transition and let me know I hadn't put the number on my bike correctly. He showed me how to make it legal ... no penalty! I was the second oldest female racing and the only one in my age group so I got the first place AG award. I don't know where the more mature ladies were today ... maybe having tea and crumpets with the Queen! My friend, Val, volunteered at the swim finish and run start. It was fun having her there to cheer me on as I moved through the events. Thanks Val. I couldn't do this without the support I get from friends and family. So thank you to my husband who hates the heat but stands there in the blistering sun to catch glimpses of me as I fly by and offers words of encouragement. Thank you to Jeff, my awesome strength trainer, who tells me I'm a rock star and gets up at the stupid crack of dawn on his day off so he

  • Comments: Today's race was better than yesterday's because it was more organized and events were on time. + the weather was better. I was 3rd in my age group and 8th overall. I am happy with 2 podiums on back to back days of racing. It was nice to see Adam,Yvonne, Jen and Matt. Thanks for coming out to support! I am very tired and had a great time. I won another pocket knife! Now I have 2 of the smame kind. They did give out cool hat and I got a Sweat shirt and belt buckle for doing the back to back.

  • Comments: Overall the race was good. As it is my second race I dont have much to base my opinion on. Overall I came in second in the Clydesdale class which is still good for me. Lots of room exists for me to improve next year.
