  • Comments: I recommend anyone who's reading this to try out the Heartland Triathalon next year, it's a really fun course in a town filled with very friendly, generous people and it's a great area for a nice family get-away as well.

  • Comments: This was my very first ever race or athletic competition of any kind. (other than regattas, which are completely different athletically). I am so excited to use this as a Benchmark for future races and can't wait to do the Heartland again with Steve next year!

  • Comments: This race was even better this year. Hell I'd sign up for the swag. Nice bike course, corrected swim and well....the run is hot but I cannot blame my performance on the course. Its flat and fast but I am not.... Overall I was 10 minutes faster than last year so I can't complain. I am pleased with my bike. I just can't compete against runners. Stoopid freaking runners!! I think I have a future as a really good aquabike athlete :)

  • Comments: Best race I have attended - Community really behind it. Only negative is they didnt have anyone at a turn and alot of people got away with the short cut.

  • Comments: This was the first year for this race. It was VERY well done. they had about 300 participants and 90 volunteers!!! Everyone was really nice. I thought the course was great and the bike was perfect blend of hills and flats. My parents live in this community most of the year. I know they were trying to get a good community response and they did. Lots of the houses on the bike course had signs saying "Welcome triathletes from the ___family." I felt so bad after the race. If I had felt that bad after my first race I would never have done another one. Luckily It was not my first race :)
