  • Comments: Great no frills race. It's always organized and very well run. It's run by the facility where I train. Great race if you are looking to do your first triathlon but is also a fun race for more experienced triathletes. Definitely a perfect race to fit into your training plans for the season.

  • Comments: Having one volunteer at the second turnaround on the bike would have been a HUGE help. I wasn't the only competitor that missed it and added 4 miles to the ride. Great race for a first triathlon and probably one to keep doing just to see how I improve.

  • Comments: I like this race because it is kind of a no frills kind of deal. It is a longer than sprint course (except it is a sprint distance swim). It is safe, well organized, and basically the same every year....dependable. Great way for me to see how I am doing with my training. Also shows me how I have improved, because it is the first tri I ever did in 2008.

  • Comments: I had a good race and with the longer bike and run I do think I did well. However, this race was not very organized. Transition was never closed so there were people just milling around the entire time. Swim start had no organization to it at all (let alone the way they hand the start times themsleves)....However, once you were out on the course everything was fine. Now, I know we had crap weather in the morning but a simple announcement to everyone if you are going to start late would be nice...And make an announcement on when you are going to start that all can hear. With more organization, this could be a very good race not just OK.

  • Comments: This is a good race and I'm looking forward to running it again in Oct. The bike will be longer then because the road construction that shortened it this time should be complete.

  • Comments: They need to have a better organization. Transicion area was a mess with people crossing paths from the swim, run and bike. Not enough volunteers directing on the bike course, which was not easy with multiple turnarounds

  • Comments: Another race... another 2nd place finish. I've got quite the pattern developing. This is a lot of fun, though. I would recommend it for the novice, or season triathlete.

  • Comments: I love these types of races. They are great for beginners. I loved seeing such a diverse group of athletes. Just goes to show everyone can be a triathlete. Was a very empowering day for me.

  • Comments: I love this race and the course. Rumor has it that St. Peters is building a man-made lake. Hopefully next year the swim will be OWS.

  • Comments: The routes were well marked and there were lots of volunteers to direct traffic on the bike and some to offer direction on the run as well. Fruit, bread from Great Harvest and breakfast burritos were on hand for post-race food. No massages this year, which was a bummer. I would do this race again and again! They are working on building a lake on the property so that 2007 races will be in the lake, allowing them to offer more variety in race distances!

  • Comments: The volunteers were great! There were so many! They were even at the entrances/exits of a gas station on the outer road. They would stop the cars coming out and onto the road when riders were coming down the road. There should've been more volunteers on the run course. Even though the course was somewhat marked, I saw several people running the wrong way, then realizing it and running back to the correct turn, etc. Overall, the race was great! I improved on the swim and run (although I don't know how I was 2 minutes faster on the run) compared to the same race in June. The weather was pretty cold, but thankfully, sunny. I will probably do this race again next year (but hopefully without a cold!)

  • Comments: My first race (and only other) was put on by a larger group, so there was more freebies, announcers at T1/T2, music and lots of post race stuff. This is a smaller race in comparison, but good, very well organized. They had plenty of food after and free massages (but I didn't wait, I was too tired to stand in line!). There was a computer glitch with ages and time, but no big deal since I don't place. I went into this race wanting to push myself and set goals that were attainable but challenging. I am very pleased with this to close out my season!
