  • Comments: I have taken Ram Racing to task for their organization in the past, but I have to say they have gotten a lot better at triathlon, and I enjoyed this race. They really need to replace the bike in guy (surly teenager who had no interest in pointing out the dismount line, which apparently means it's optional to the riders (who knew)), but otherwise, the volunteers were happy and knowledgeable and the race was well run.

  • Comments: Great course, great volunteers, bad after-party (no music, no beer, crappy food), no finisher's medal (not too disappointed about the latter, but it's always nice to get something at the end).

  • Comments: It looked to me like a rece orginzed by neighbours st home. I do think the swim course was terrible and was definately expecting a finishers medal, that was a huge bummer. But don't take me wrong I would do it again hopefully next time we will be able to swim instead of walk. Lake Geneva is a beautiful place.

  • Comments: I think I felt a little lackadaisical about this race. My transitions and my run were a little lazy. There were several times when I thought to myself, "gee I'm just groovin' along, enjoying the race" rather than really pushing myself to the best of my ability. Shawn has said to me before the race that the course was a tough one, and it wouldn't be the place to PR. Perhaps that is why I didn't push it harder? Anyhow I definitely enjoyed myself despite the tough wind conditions. There were definitely a few things missing from the race, but overall I'm glad I did it.

  • Comments: Great swim for beginner triathletes (shallow enough to stand), moderate bike course (some small hills) and a nice run course through the woods. Will try to do this course again next year.

  • Comments: I loved the course, but the vitals at the end were a bit lacking and the awards ceremony was way disorganized. They announcer completely forgot an entire age division and they didn't even acknowledge the Clyde's or the Athenas. No mile markers for the bike and at least one intersection on the bike course didn't have volunteers. Thank goodness there were no cars so I didn't have to stop at the sign.

  • Comments: They could have done better with the food after the race all I ate was the banana. The pb & j was almost rock hard and the pasta salad was kind of nasty. But other then that was a great race.

  • Comments: This is my favorite race to do. The scenery is great. I am sure the race organizers will get the distance right on the run for next year. This is a great race for someone who wants to try a triathlon.

  • Comments: I liked the race. A bit disappointed in the PB&J sandwich for lunch. They need to update information on websites because there is confusion about the sprint distance. I would say this race is the one I feel best about of the six I have done so far. I felt like I was a bit smarter than at Elkhart but that OLY distance is a tough one. Sprint's you can kind of just hammer while HIM's is all about pace and OLYs are somewhere in between. At any rate I'm pretty excited about this race and I'd like to continue to do maybe one Sprint per year.

  • Comments: Good race. Chip timing was messed up and Softrides fiancee finished about 4-5 minutes behind me yet had a finishing time faster than mine (we started in the same wave). Oh well, I'm going off my stop watch anyway for total time as that time was about 4 minutes behind Softride and about 4 minutes ahead of her fiancee.
