  • Comments: I really liked this race. The pond was cute and the bike course was really promising. The run is a little masochistic, but you're all in the same boat. The downhill part more than makes up for it. The food was great. A warm square of egg bake, fruit, yogurt, and a mini muffin. Really creative and different, perfect for a morning race. I will definitely come back!

  • Comments: I like this race. It's just the right size and is on a really fun course. Who am I to argue with negative splits on both the bike and the run? They upped their game this year with color-coded age groups (last year as BYO-Swim Cap). I also like the time-trial start as a change of pace. They even had meals for everyone after the race. I also loved that they had race results available immediately after the race and posted by 2pm the same day.

  • Comments: I love the Chaska Tri and I'd like to come back every year. Great level of organization. Perfect number of people racing. Feels relaxed and yet competitive. All volunteers will cheer you on and that feels great.

  • Comments: My age group was a little slow on the top, so I was thrilled with a second place finish. That will probably be my only chance to get a prize, so I was happy with the place, content with overall time. I've really got the Triathlon bug after my fourth race now.

  • Comments: This is a smaller event and it felt like there were just the right number of people for the venue. The course is well laid out, with smooth roads and good volunteer/police support. The entry fee was only $50, and the swag bag was nice, so not having a lot of snacks at the end wasn't a big deal. Plus, I just wanted to get home and watch the Tour, rather than wait for the BBQ.

  • Comments: Post race snacks were very limited, but they were planning a bbq for a bit later which I couldn't stay for. Lot's of cold bottled water though!

  • Comments: From the time I picked up my race packet to the start of the race I felt like I was well informed and directed toward what to do and where to go. Great course and I look forward to doing it again. I hope I make the Chaska tri and annual tradition and maybe some day I'll beat my brother.

  • Comments: I really, really liked this race. Haven't done any other, but I thought it was very well ran and I loved biking on all the closed down roads. I said thanks to each cop I passed.

  • Comments: This was a great race for a first-time triathlete like myself. It was well organized, the other athletes were excellent and the course wasn't overly intimidating (although the initial part of the run was crazy). A+

  • Comments: This was a really fun race. It was very well organized. The food was excellent. They gave out a t-shirt, a goody bag plus a folding chair. It was a pretty good haul. This race report is a couple years late so I don't remember everything, except it was a fun race.
