  • Comments: I love this race. It's a small field, it's a challenging course, and the set up is spectacular. A lot more really fast dudes showed up this year and I think that will continue as it becomes more known since it's so tough. This isn't a course to PR in terms of speed, but it's just a fun event. And thanks to Leigh, I have a real race kit now - if you can't be fast, at least look fast!

  • Comments: I got 2nd in my AG overall!! With this performance, I was understandably shocked. I guess it's really all about who shows up that day. Will hopefully do better in the future as next year, I will be at a wedding.

  • Comments: Nice venue, perfect conditions today. The trail run was different. I'd say they should play this up more so participants are aware. I really enjoyed the environment and the course.

  • Comments: This race is always very well done. The organizers are very friendly and the volunteers are the best. I swear that every leg is actually longer than they say it is. My garmin clocked 12.3 for the bike and 3.21 for the run. And I know the swim is longer than 1/3 of a mile.

  • Comments: Great first race. It was well organized and had a ton of volunteers who were very eager to help. Great tri for a first timer. When I finished, I felt like I could have done it again or done a longer distance so that felt good. It's a heck of a lot easier on your body than a 1/2 marathon!

  • Comments: Excellently organized (again)...Nice work, Charlie! The volunteers are always so helpful and friendly. I love the scale of this race, but I wonder if it should be capped at either a smaller number or feel good about its popularity and grow a bit (more transition racks?). The food was great, and I always love the raffle. The commemorative hat was blue this year - very nice! Random suggestions: more trashcans near transition, recycling!, one more healthy dish option - more veggies like corn on the cob or fruit salad, and lastly, considering permitting us to rack our bikes via the seat (I think you can actually fit more per rack this way!).

  • Comments: I plan to spend more time with Lobstergirl after race next year! My family was with me and we all had to get back home to attend my son's baseball game. Missed out on lunch. Would like to spend more time meeting people and talking about experience with condition especially during the swim. I agree with Lobstergirl when she said that they should provide electrolyte drinks on course. They provided giveaways such as t-shirt, cap, nutrition bars, drink mix. I missed the lunch, but it looked great from what I could see. Massage was great. Pleasantly surprised to know they provided it. I would definitely do this race again. Very challenging first race, but provided big boost in confidence because if I could get through a tough course like this, then I have no qualms about getting through other courses.

  • Comments: Enthusiastic, friendly volunteers. Race giveaways: sweatcaps running cap with race logo embroidered on it, t-shirt, bag of nutritional goodies. Really delicious, healthy lunch. Everything was on time, and overall the race lacked only the pushiness of a much larger venue - which is FINE! I would definitely do this race again next year. Suggestions: I wish they had an electrolyte drink on the course, and counted transition times separately from the legs.

  • Comments: Very good race. Pretty tough little course with the hills and the trail run. Nice BBQ lunch after. Didn't stick around for the ceremony stuff, as we had places to be. Well run.

  • Comments: This course was challenging, which I wasn't prepared for, but that didn't sour my desire to try it again next year. The rain stunk, but the course was beautiful and the after-race BBQ was delicious. With more training, I could really do well here.
