  • Comments: Charm City Run is top notch. Sign-up, pre-race info, packet pickup, setup, start, course markings, even a decent post-race food spread which one day I'll eat. Pizza Johns pizza!!! This race plays to my strengths so I'll plan on doing it again if I'm in town.

  • Comments: Overall I felt great about this race. I gave myself two months to train and think I did a good job focusing on the run portion and the swim, although in the future I will definitely start a little earlier. Other than the small running area, I though the race was very well organized and everyone was very friendly and helpful. The ladies I met while warming up/waiting to start and after the finish were all very nice and I look forward to seeing them at future races. I also want to note that the overall rank I put above includes the men. I got 4th overall for the women, but they didn't give rankings specific for men and women for the swim, bike and run. This was my first triathlon in two years and I am re-hooked. Excited to have a full season in 2017!

  • Comments: Overall it was a good day. The race started a little late because of the weather (it had blown the buoys around overnight). There were a couple times when I was unsure of a turn and there were either no volunteers in that area, or they weren't paying attention to direct us. There weren't really that many drink stations either. It would've been nice to have one right outside of the transition area. The food afterwards was also an odd combination. There was pasta salad, caesar salad, some kind of pizza/calzone type thing, and cookies. I can't eat that kind of stuff right after competing, so it would've been nice to have some fruit and veggies to munch on.
