  • Comments: This is a great "no frills" race, its not a big festival race but has a really close-knit atmosphere and has grown considerably in the last few years but it doesn't feel too big. The race organizers did another great job and the weather was perfect.

  • Comments: 41 seconds better than last year, but I'm not too happy. I know I'm a crappy swimmer, but still would like to be better somehow. Bike improvement I expected, and should have been even faster. Run sucked. 36 seconds slower than last year, and that was too slow. I'm not sure what my problem was.

  • Comments: Great race. I like the new course. Great mental effort today. Wasn't too scared of the swim compared to prior races. Bike greatly improved. Run not improved, but hasn't fallen off as much as I feared. I can improve more on the swim. If I were training more specifically for this distance, I could ride and run faster too. 29/338 males.

  • Comments: Great event. I just wonder how I could have done without the wipeout. My computer also had the bike course longer than 13.5 miles. I'd love to improve enough to go under 1:10 next year.

  • Comments: Its a local race, few hundred folks so I think it went well. The people driving their cars like A-holes through the race should be shot, I was hoping the cops would. Other than that, the race was great.

  • Comments: good race. one of the better post-race parties. very good organization. the organizer for most of the past years died a few weeks before the race and there was a really nice memorial before the race.

  • Comments: The weeds really detract. If you can get past them, this is a great race. It is run as well as Chicago. Volunteers and police, the course was not closed, but it really felt like the athletes were the priority. I ran this race in Phil's memory and I will run it next year as it really is a great event.

  • Comments: My first tri, so I can't rank this well but it seemed really well run, I did not have to worry about anything besides what I was doing on the course. I had a great time, I will be back next year.
