  • Comments: This course is definitely more in my ability range than it was two years ago when I first did it. If I trained more hills (both biking and running) I think I could do quite well on it. The training plan for the season just doesn't dictate spending enough hill time (I know that sounds weird, but due to time constraints it is). The volunteer crew was awesome, and the RD said that the city road crews put in 80 hours of work sweeping and repairing potholes just for this event. It showed, as the roads were in terrific condition outside of the wetness. It's unfortunate that with a pool start and the toughness of the bike and run legs that the awards and raffle end up being SOOO late compared to when I get done with the race as one of the first in the water. There's absolutely nothing that can be done about this, but it is unfortunate.

  • Comments: Good event. They definately make an effort here. This was my first one, so not much to base the experience on. I accomplished the primary goal of finishing and the secondary goal of doing it in under 2 hours. A victory in my book. On to St. Peters in October!!!

  • Comments: Some aid stations on the bike course would have been great, like maybe having one. Post race seemed pretty tame, and not much going on at the finish. But this being my first race I don't have much to compare it too. And I didn't win the free bike....

  • Comments: I'm glad I did this race. It's something I've been wanting to do for the last 3 years. I'd love to do it again next year, but only if I spend a lot more time with hill training, both on the bike and the run.

  • Comments: OA and AG winners recieved same size/type of plaque. Also, 1st place OA and 1st place in AG got t-shirts and a water bottle, but 2nd and 3rd OA got nothing extra? Doesn't make much sense to me...BUT a great overall race. Lots of door prizes, good food and nice people.

  • Comments: For my first race this was great, but I will look to avoid hills in the future as I am only a recreational athlete. Not looking to beat everyone registered.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed the race. The competition was fast. The volunteers were good and the course was clearly marked. (I have a paranoid fear of getting lost on a race course). I really like it when they have attendance prizes such as nice bikes. One can always dream of winning a nice new pretty bike, alas it was not meant to be. Maybe some day.
