  • Comments: This is a fantastic race for first timers and a pretty good race overall for what it is. Very short and close to my house :) Well done MS Heat! I'm also really pleased with my 3rd place in my division. They only gave out hardware for the overall clyde winner so that was a little bit of a bummer. No worries though. I'm thinking/hoping that this will be my last year to be able to race as a clyde. I have another race in my sights for later in the summer that I'll probably race age group regardless.

  • Comments: Great race once again. It was my first ever tri last year so I had to do it again. It's local and so well put together there's really no reason to not continue racing it.

  • Comments: I filled my times out LONG after the race so I don't recall any real specifics other than the fact that this is a pretty well run race and a fantastic opportunity to get into triathlon in this area. It is a goal that is quite attainable and if you happen to be reading this and wondering if you should give it a shot... DO IT! It is a blast!

  • Comments: This is a great Tri for people wanting to get a taste. Its short enough where anyone should be able to complete and has plenty of first time participants. There is also a decent amount of regular triathletes to provide some competition for those who are ready for it.

  • Comments: Just a small tri, sort of like a community event. They did increase the participants by about 50 from last year, which is nice. Even on a two mile run, there was a stretch of NOTHING. No people, no houses, no buildings, no trees. That actually made me run faster, just to get back around people. Had a good day. I actually didn't hit my time goal, but by design it was seriously agressive. In the process of actually trying to do something that seemed out of reach, I ended up with some hardware and pretty good day.
