  • Comments: I know I said that the Tempe International was a great race. But I honestly think that if I had the opportunity to do this particular race again next year I would definitely do it. It's nice and cool, it's in beautiful country, there were tons of very encouraging/helpful volunteers, the course itself was challenging, and the finisher's medal is pretty cool. To anyone looking for an awesome Tri (whether you want to do a sprint, olympic, half-iron, or a Relay), definitely give this one a go. Decent schwag bag too (a TYR bag, a nice long-sleeved shirt, a sweatband, some sample products, and the bib stub doubled as free food later on) NOTE: For Age Group rankings I used the clydesdale rankings instead since for some reason I show up in overall, but not when sorted by age group. ~shrug~

  • Comments: Overall the race was excellent and really couldn't have gone better. Lots of volunteers and water stations. Everyone was helpful. The bike aid guy was incredibly helpful. Even the goody bag was excellent. The transportation was awful though. There was a shuttle and in the morning most everyone rode to the race but not surprisingly most people wanted a ride back to cars. Took at least 30 minutes for the shuttle make it around. Definitely needed a second shuttle.
