  • Comments: Nice race, course was not very easy for a beginner though! fist big downhill had a 90deg turn part way down it. I hit the turn at around 35mph while other were crashing or going sooo slow. Made for a dangerous turn. Other than that a great course to start off the year.

  • Comments: THis is a great race with lots and lots of great volunteers. Thanks to all the MU students who got up early to cheer us... literally along the entire course. IN 2007 this was my first triathlon, and I am a Miami alum, so I will probably make this a yearly race. Great job all around. Finally... this is weird. So far this year I have run a 15K and done one tri. Both are races I did in 2007. For the 15k, my 2008 time was just about 90 seconds longer than 07. For this tri, my 2008 time was about 70 seconds slower than in 07. At least I have consistency going for me.

  • Comments: I could not have been more pleased at the outcome for my first triathlon. I thought M.U. and HFP did a great job and I actually felt less nervous than I did with my 1st "splash and dash". I did not have any expectations except that I wanted to finish under 2 hours, and I did! The campus is a great place to host a race and I think having the swim leg in the pool is great for a newbie! I am so excited that I did it and now I wonder what I was so anxious about prior to the race!!

  • Comments: This was a good race and I'm glad we found one this early in the year. I'm pretty sure I will be doing it again next year. I'm not sure I can talk my wife into doing it again because of the hills, but I'm going to try.

  • Comments: There were no race medals and the announcer did not announce your name as you were running in to the finish line. Both of these add to the excitement of reaching the finish. I know in the marathons and half-marathons I've run, it definitely is cool to have someone announcing your name and putting a medal around your neck. At the same time, I respect the fact that medals were not given because then more money could go to scholarship. Also, I wish there would have been more post-race food. Bananas and sport drink are always nice in addition to the water and bagels.

  • Comments: This is a GREAT race! It is very well organized and the volunteers are awesome. To be out there that early in the morning in the cold rain and still have tons of energy is to be commended. Miami is a beautiful campus and the outskirts of Oxford is a great place for a bike ride. They treat every talent level the same! The encouragement I received throughout the race was awesome! I can't wait until next year!

  • Comments: This was a well-run race. It was the largest they've had BY FAR in the 3 years since inception, and given a growth of over 200 entrants from the previous year, I thought they did a nice job. With a Serpentine swim, however, the end of the race was really dragging out, and I left without my results because they wouldn't post until everyone was done.

  • Comments: My first Tri and I finished!! Not the time I would have hoped for but given the dificulty of the bike and the fact that I had exercise induced migraines for 2 weeks prior limiting my ability to train I am overall very pleased
