  • Comments: A well run race, a little cramped for space due to the small venue, but they pulled it off. One more year here and they plan to move to a new place in '09. Lots of food and drink and fun. Good community support and volunteers will keep this race around in the future.

  • 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.
