  • Comments: Personally I preferred last years course to this one. It seemed like there were too many participants in too small of an area. Also, after finishing there were tons of people cleaning out their transition area so I went in a did the same not knowing that there were still competitors coming through. They never should have let us into transition when there were still cyclists on the course! I will probably do it again next year but it is questionable.

  • Comments: This was a good race, but the organization could have been better. This was a new venue while they transition between last year's place and their new venue that'll go into affect next year. The volunteers were helpful and there were plenty of enthusiastic supports from the local high schools. I'll do this one again, but I hope they make some changes to the course to allow for more elbow room on the bike and the run.

  • Comments: Second tri of the season after IronBabe (and my second ever). Both the bike and run were PRs. Can't wait for the next race.

  • Comments: This was a fast course. Didn't care for the way the waves were divided. Men's groups were in five year groups yet the wave for the women's age 20-39 were all together and was by far the largest wave with at least 134 women. A little cramped swim in a small man made pond/lake. Race start almost twenty minutes late. The cycling and running courses were very good. Great party atmosphere after the race.

  • Comments: It would have been nice to have a drink station on the bike. There was no security at the transition area. I did not like swimming on that lake. The rest of the course was good.

  • Comments: I started this race with the plan to place in my AG. I had my garmin on and had the pace alerts set for what I judged was a winning pace. After the kick during the swim, I just never mentally recovered. This was just not my day. This was my last sprint this season and I really wanted to end it with a bang, I don't even feel like it popped. Oh well, on to Ironstar training.

  • Comments: I'm glad I did this race. I told Joe originally that I wouldn't do this race since it was in that nasty lake. But then they announced a new race site for 2006. So, I signed up, a nice new lake to swim in. When I found out the new race site wasn't ready and it would be back at the old site, I started getting nervous. Luckily, I didn't let it get the best of me. Despite the water conditions the race was put together really well, the volunteers were awesome and they really took care of us after the race, also. I love having such and aweome race right in my neighborhood:)

  • Comments: I enjoyed myself and the venue. The swim was a bit gross but overall the course was nice, with lots of shade for the run. I hope to do this race again next year. I had the opportunity to meet Holly and Hannah, it was a pleasure. Joe, Bonnie, Holly, Lisa and myself gathered for a group photo following the HRTC group photo op. We will have to ask the announcer, next time, to make an announcement so all BT folks attending the event can find each other at a meeting place. Sorry we missed some of you! Thanks again, to Lisa for the wonderful hospitality!

  • Comments: My only compaint about the race itself was the walk from the parking to the site. But I guess there isn't much you can do. I also think the race packet could have been better. The finishers glass at the end was a nice touch though!

  • Comments: Everything was well organized and with plenty to eat and drink afterwards. Could have had more fruit. All they had was hot, over-ripe bananas. Also, a pretty lame race packet IMHO. Just a shirt and advertising inserts.
