  • Comments: This is one awesome tri! I met my goal of under 3:00 hrs. I can't wait to train harder and return next year. For it's size, it's really well organized, and the courses can't be beat. The logistics are a little challenging, but that's part of the overall experience. Fortunately it didn't rain hard in the days leading up to the race, which could have cancelled the swim. Just need to improve the quality of food for the post-race celebration.

  • Comments: I love this race. Two huge disappointments, however tarnished the event. #1 was the bike course. While it was spectator freindly, it was not athlete friendly. #2 was that they ran out of medals. Only the top 30% of finishers received them. This is inexcusable. This race has many first-timers and people who were just trying to "finish". To run out of medals is unacceptable. I received one, and like it, but it would mean alot more to many people who had never competed in a triathlon before. Overall, with the exception of these two issues, the event is great and fun.

  • Comments: Low score for post race based on the food tent. Almost empty for athletes when I arrived. Spectators were supposed to have food to buy, but the vendor closed down early. Little kids can be cranky when tired hungry and thirsty. I snagged them water at finish and the last cookie and peanuts from athlete table. Took no more than would I would normally eat, gave it to them. Also, it should never happen that a race doesn't have the finisher medals at the finishing line.

  • Comments: I am giving this an average due to bike course. If they keep this bike course for this event next year, I will not register. I'll find another race to do in September. Average swim performance, good bike performance, sub-par run performance.

  • Comments: The race is pretty well organized for an event of its size. The big issue on this course was the new bike course which I did not mind at all but a lot of people did not like it at all. The one thing that I heard of that is just inexcusable was that they ran out of finishers medals., I don't even know how that is even remotely possible. It is not like the number of entries is a mystery. Overall though I liked the race and would do it again.

  • Comments: Great race. Org and volunteers top notch. Awesome location. Logistical nightmare. My only negative is the no passing zones on the bike route - very dangerous.
