  • Comments: Fun race. Second year I have done it and they do a nice job. I'm pleased with my race. Great to get first in grandmasters but more excited to get 7th overall. Nice to be able to try and compete with the young guys....those days are likely numbered for this old man.

  • Comments: Really well done race. My first time there and really enjoyed it. Slightly cooler morning than typical for this time of year probably helped.

  • Comments: Great challenging race with plenty of gradual hills. No hills were steep or straight up. Great tech t-shirt and also received runners hat or visor to go with it which was totally unexpected! Post race food was great with variety of drinks. Will definitely be back.

  • Comments: Race was great. Volunteers were the best I have seen. Post race food was disappointing. The last thing I had eaten was at 4:00. I was starved when race was complete. You had your choice of greasy chicken or greasy pizza. The line of cars with Tri bikes at Chic Fil a makes me think I am not the only one thinking that.

  • Comments: This was a very challenging course for a beginner. Pros: Lots of water stations on run, water with ice! They also handed out sponges soaked in ice water on the run. The guy at the last water station that was throwing ice water on us as we went by was wonderful! They give you a nice shirt AND a nice visor for this race. There were lots of great volunteers and the park where the swim and run were held was beautiful. Parking was right there at the transition. And LOVED the outdoor showers they set up to rinse the lake water and sweat off before I ate. Cons: No bike numbers, so it was basically just an honor system that everyone would leave with the bike they came with. Roads were extremely rough on bike route (but I still enjoyed it).

  • Comments: This was the 25th anniversary of this race and you could tell... these guys know how to organize a race. Volunteers everywhere, everything was perfectly organized, everyone was friendly and knew what they needed to do. There was an aid station every half mile on the run offering either cold sponges (that were COLD), cold water (also COLD), or both. At the last aid station I didn't need water but the guy asked if I wanted a shower, I said sure so he threw the cup of water on me... awesome. This is a popular event for the area and I see why... great venue, great people, great race. I'll be back next year ready to conquer those hills!

  • Comments: I dont understand why a race cordinator would schedule a vender to serve hot food to hot racers after a race when its 90+ degrees outside.

  • Comments: This was a decent race but I have mixed feelings about it. On one hand, it's a nice intermediate distance (not quite Oly) and it was a fun, family-friendly event. On the other hand, beginner participation is dropping (according to the RD) so it's hard to get excited about finishing so close to last (and DFL in my AG) after giving so much on the course. Another annoying thing was the lack of T1/T2 split times, but I'm still new, so maybe that's not such a big deal. They also didn't use chip timing, so I was concerned about the people manually recording the times, but the times came very close to what I recorded, so I didn't object to the official results.

  • Comments: I think this is a very good race the course is challenging but not extreme. There were plenty of volunteers and the lady at the run turn around cheering made my day. I wish that they had gatorade or powerade at the aid station and some mile markers would be nice, but overall it is very well done and it will be on my race calender next year.
