  • Comments: The time on my watch was a 1:18 and some change. My final time was a 1:21 and some change. So I think the official times are about 3 minutes off some how. Which is how often a swim wave started. Overall race was too bad. Needed more volunteers at the run water stations. Had 2 at one and then 4 at the other. Measure the swim better. The awards medals were really tiny and cheap. It almost was worth the wait for the hardware.

  • Comments: This was my second time doing this tri. It is a fun tri, but definitely hillier than Lake Mills. I wish I had trained more because I really wanted to place. I guess I will have to wait until next year.

  • Comments: Really well put together and organized. I like transition areas that are pre-set so it's not a free for all. Good race!

  • Comments: This race was very well done, especially since it was their 2nd annual. The only thing it was lacking was a party afterwards and I'm sure next year it will be even better. Everyone there was very friendly and willing to help. Also, everyone who was participating from the Wauconda area that I talked to before the race had friendly advice and encouragement. There were a lot of 1st and 2nd timers and I'd describe the atmosphere as high in competitive camaraderie. Great race!

  • Comments: I had a great time! And I'm overall very satisfied with my race, although I would have loved to be top three in my age group. But my goal before the race was top third, and I did that. And I finished in the top half overall, which I'm also happy with. I'll probably be back next year.

  • Comments: Of the two races I've been in, this one ranks #1. Very well organized, decent goody bag; race volunteers really helpful and encouraging. Very well run race. Will make this one an annual event.

  • Comments: Great race for me. I am learning more and more at each race I do. It was nice to get the Donkai shorts up on the podium again. With all the Donkeys in the area, we should start a podium shrine of Donkeyness?? 2006 time: 1:22:05 2007 time: 1:16:20 Almost 6 minutes shaved off on a sprint is good progress, methinks. The people of Wauconda put on a great race. The venue is perfect. Nice to get a hilly race in this area. Many volunteers and they are all great. The transition area opened up late, but everything can't run smoothly. Great race for this area if you are considering one.

  • Comments: This was the 1st annual, and I will definitely go back. They were extremely organized and had an announcer (emcee) as well. They had motorcycle assitance, if you had a flat. The folks at the Wauconda Park District have to be very happy with this event. It went off w/o any hitches. I would also like to thank all of the BT'ers who have helped me learn about this sport. I am hooked! And the information from the people on this site is priceless. I am hoping that I can give back as much as I have learned to this community.

  • Comments: This was the first ever Wauconda Triathlon, and I hope it's the first of many! The race directors were organized and helpful, the volunteers were simply fantastic, the course was excellent and I have nothing but positive things to say. The guy on the mic MCing the awards ceremony was hysterical. Much props to the police and FD guys who helped support the race also.
