  • Comments: Great race for first-timers and for those looking for a low-key event. Even though there were 1200+ people there is is run like a local event. Awesome venue and a great place to take the family for the weekend.

  • Comments: For first triathlon, did faily well. Learned lots, had reasonable time, and now appreciate what it takes to be competitive and work hard. Can tell been away from racing a while since on run wssn't mentally able to stay tough and focused. While in some cases better gear isn't always the answer, being really competitive requires me to have a pair of racing flats to be most effective.

  • Comments: I had the time of my life - The race was what I expected and pretty much everything went as advertised. I worked for about 10 weeks to get ready, probably did too much reading and not enough training but either way it surpassed my expectations - The feeling heading to that finish line was a sense of accomplishment and reward that you don't feel that often. I cannot wait to leave it all on the field in the next one.

  • Comments: Need to have the volunteers in matching shirts so that they are easy to find. Not enough bike racks and people really spread out making it hard to find a spot for your bike and I was there early. Only a race number for your shirt. No marking for the swim, no number on the bike. Too many non-participants in the transition area. Need a bit better control there.

  • Comments: I really enjoyed the experience...I did not train for this at all. Literally was in a backyard pool once. Rode a bike about 4 times (10 to 20 miles each time) and did no running. So considering I am pleased. With a little training I hope to be well below 1 hr next year. I am planning on being back.
