  • Comments: Overall a good race. With limited parking not a great one for the pregnant wife and children. Limited activity for the kids at the race site. If I come back next year I will leave them at home.

  • Comments: very happy with this race every year. next year we are parking on site to avoid the hike. Missed my PR by 2 minutes. Bike segment cost me there compared to the last time I raced here.

  • Comments: They ran out of water but there were plenty of sugar drinks like Coke, Sprite,etc.at the end of the race. Lots of snack foods pre and post. They called each individual's name and where they were from as they completed the run. I liked that! Large number of volunteers and police involvement. It was a very controlled and safe event. Looking forward to going back next year and setting a new PR.

  • Comments: Great time!! it was my first ever triathlon and i took first in my division! i had a fantastic time! i really have to say the support from volunteers and viewers was extraordinary! i don't think i would have changed anything. i was worried about the parking but they said get here early so i did and i got front row parking..not to shabby at all. I would actually perhaps recommend more water for the end of the race..i struggled trying to find some for a while but tons of other goodies! lots of volunteers and overall a fantastic crowd! will be back next year!

  • Comments: The swim distance should have been more accurate. I understand there will be a little variability because it is open water, but this missed the mark by a few football fields. I bet it sucked big time for a first timer without much swim experience.

  • Comments: A little disappointed with my time- really wanted to beat my time from 3 years ago, but I think the swim was long and the run was definitely a little longer. I did relatively poorly in my AG (10/64, compared with 8/108 last time) but I think part of that is the caliber of the crowd that showed up this time. For the first time ever I beat Andrew. Not sure if he is not in good shape and he looked broken at the end, but fun to beat a known entity that is typically a couple of mins faster. I'd be very interested to see the USAT scores since those take into account people's previous race results in the calculation. Interestingly, I would have been 7th in the 35-39AG...10th in the 40-44. Tough bunch. Turns out that 61 seconds faster would have gotten me 5th in my AG! Now I just need to find that minute somewhere. Quite a densely packed bunch in the end between 4 and 10.

  • Comments: pretty good race, alot of people on a smaller course. quite a bit of drafting witnessed on the bike course, still amazes me that more penalties are not handed out though.

  • Comments: This was a relay and we only had me and my husband. He did the swim with a newly plated broken leg. I did the bike and the run. Out of 700 people we were the only ones that got a bad timing chip. Very dissapointing not to be able to see the time splits except for the run. I cant believe out of all the people we go the bad chip.

  • Comments: Like this race as it is the longest sprint in the triangle area. Really need a better run. But this was a PR! (by about 2:30)

  • Comments: First ever tri for me, so hard to rate. It seemed like an excellent race and very well organised. The dreaded parking issues were a non issue for me as i arrived early, got a spot no problem and because i was a novice i was one of the last to start (and thus finish), plus i hung around for ceremonies as i got 3rd in my group!!.. yay yay!!.. Great first tri.

  • Comments: Took 3 minutes off of last year, 1 minute in each of the 3 sports. Really wanted a top ten finish. My same time on Sunday's race would have been good enough for 6th. Looking forward to some time off.

  • Comments: Not sure I will do this race again. With the parking woes and the crappy shirt I just don't know. I do like that they removed the speed bumps in the park, that made things much easier. I love this swim and bike course but hate the run, I dunno will weigh my options next year. Though it would be fun to have one race I do each year to really compare my progress.
