  • Comments: A fairly bare-bones operation. Not a ton of volunteers, one aid station (at the transition), and no schwag, but for $50, a great deal. Nice long sleeve tee, a fantastic course (scenic too), and a good vibe to the race. Having a tri in December was a nice novelty. The folks running the race had a great attitude as well. I'll be back for '06.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Very well organized for a local low budget sprint race. EXTREMELY fast course with no problems hiccups. Not much of a physical test, but fun to go FAST. Running twice a week up from once a week has really benefitted my times. I still need to train more.

  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: This was just a fun little Tri. Nothing to get serious about due to the fact they had no mileage markers or chips. You were just having to watch your watch and you didnt know where the run should have stopped. Think the bike course was a little short. Swim was only a 100 meter swim. I also forgot to mention that this was a backwards tri. I guess that is what you would call it. The run was first, then bike and swim was last. There were no wave starts. Everyone started the run together. This is not what you would call a serious Tri but I still would do it again. Just a great vibe about the place. You were running with parents and their kids. It was fun to see how much the kids enjoyed it. Plus it was a kick to see them out there on their bikes. A great way to end my year.
