  • Comments: Not a great race performance wise overall with an extremely slow bike but I still landed in the middle of my age group and nice to see I had one of the fastest swims in my AG...that's something right? I'll do better next year...

  • Comments: Volunteers were awesome. Definitely enjoyed the race, and if it fits into my schedule next year will do it again. I definitely need to work on my run though; I was top 1/5 for the swim and bike, but my run brought me down.

  • Comments: This was a great FIRST Triathalon! I wish the weather would have been just a bit warmer and no rain, but this is Ohio and it's a great challenge! Overall MUSF did a GREAT job putting together a GREAT event! Met some great people and I am IN! Scheduled for OU the next weekend and plan to do 2-3 more this summer/fall. THANKS Miami and Go Redhawks!

  • Comments: Awesome event! Close to my heart as I am an MU alumni. Volunteers were great and friendly. Students out on the course were excellent. Even though they were freezing (it was obvious) they cheered every single swimmer, biker and runner on at every turn. I thought the event was just relaxed enough for a first-timer like myself, but competitive enough for the triathlete getting in that 1st race of the season and working out the bugs/fine tuning their race for the upcoming season.

  • Comments: This race would be really really fun with about 15 degrees more. Of course it was 20 degrees warmer the 5 days proceeding the race. Despite that it is very organized , lots of volunteers and has a good course.

  • Comments: This is my first Tri and my first HFP event but I have been to numerous running events (large and small). I think this race was well organized and supported. Enthusiastic volunteers and supportive spectators despite the less than perfect weather. Packet pickup was generally speedy, if they could have lined things up a little better there might have been less chaos before the race. The chaos/crowding mainly came from the packet line and chip line criss-crossing and intermingling right between the only door from the parking garage and transition area. Thankfully, pretty much everyone was helpful and polite to each other. Overall, I had a great time with my first race and look forward to making some improvements over the next 6 weeks.

  • Comments: 3rd time at race, they had all kinds of things planned for after the race but the weather killed those plans. Still a fun early race. Only wish I could ride/run those hills everyday. For no real training I was happy to only be off the pace by about 10 mins. Very happy to be that close.

  • Comments: I left the race feeling like I could have pushed a lot harder, which is disappointing. I need to work A LOT on running and somehow get myself stronger mentally and physically. I did worse than last year, which was a huge let down because I am much more in shape now and have a bike which is newer than my last one by at least 20 years. The timing system had some snags again this year, but at least not as bad as the previous year.

  • Comments: I love having a race in April to look forward to. I like the big boy pool to swim in. The bike course is definately challenging for the first race of the year. I felt very good about my run and swim results and a little disappointed with the overall time and bike results. My only beef is that this is two years in a row there have been timing issues. I do several HFP races every year and I havent ever had an issue with any other race. It is a big annoyance but I have fun at this race. Also Boo to the eateries of Oxford - WTF no beer at 930 AM on Saturday? Whats a boy to do? Drive to applebees and wait until 11 AM for them to open so I can get a post race brew?

  • Comments: I beat last years time by close to 8 minutes.......Even if my run time was off by a couple of minutes, I still crushed last years time. That's all I wanted to accomplish during this race.

  • Comments: Post-race could have been better organized, e.g., there was a food station but it was not well marked at all. The big problem I have is with the timing data analysis, which they screwed up royally. The course itself and the participants were great and I really enjoyed myself at the time.
