  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: this was my first and only tri, so i have nothing to compare it to. i do have to say that the volunteers were friendly and encouraging, which was appreciated. i didn't ride the bike leg beforehand, but there was ZERO confusion as to the course. Every turn was manned and apparent. i have already decided to reclaim some of my pride by returning next year. My goal is to drop from a 2:32 finish to under 1:35, which would put me middle of the pack. There must be something about this sport if I can do that badly, yet still have a good time!

  • Comments: Great race again this year. Close to home so easy logistically. Great to see family and friends and a good early season course with shorter swim and some solid hills on the bike.

  • Comments: This is an excellent event, and I recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to race it. The only negatives are the rough road for the bike in/out, and the post race food could be better. The only options were bananas, oranges, bagels, and trail mix.

  • Comments: This being my first tri, I have nothing but great reviews to share. Volunteers and competitors were super friendly. Despite being a small lake and short swim, very well organized, so waves moved smoothly. Bike course is very scenic, and challenging (hill training highly recommended). Run is flat and most of it in wooded rails to trails section. Awesome experience. Highly recommend it. I'm lucky to live close by, since I plan to make it a permanent fixture in my racing calendar every year.
