  • Comments: This is a fun local race. Not a ton of support, but fun. Only 2 aid stations on the bike, but aid stations every mile of the run. The point to point race is fun, but next time I would cooridinate with buddies to have a vehicle to take us to the start instead of the bus.

  • Comments: This race was tricky for me, because I did it all by myself. The transitions are in different places, so the logistical side of things would be easier if I had a little support crew. Despite the complicated logistics, the race directors and volunteers made everything go smoothly. The scenery and varying terrain on the bike makes it fun (and fast). The run is a little boring, but everyone is in survival mode at that point, so I don't think anyone minds. Oh yeah, I posted what I think is the bike route in the route manager in case anyone wants to look at it for next year.

  • Comments: This was a fun race! The event is very well organized and the volunteers did a great job. They had enough water stations on the run this year (twice as many as last year) and were sponsored by HammerNutrition, which conveniently is the fuel I prefer and train with so they were stocked with all the stuff I would have otherwise carried with me. :) They allowed one earbud for music on the run this year. I can understand people not wanting to wear music when they race, but I enjoyed having some tunes with me. I hope they continue this. Every year there seems to be a worry about whether the lake will be cool enough for wetsuits, but the two years I've been there they were allowed. If you swim in the lake for practice, go early in the morning - the lake smells horrible later in the afternoon. I was in it a few weeks ago and was quite worried about having to swim in it again, but it was fine on race morning. I hope to be back next year.

  • Comments: Absolutely fantastic organization that runs this race. I hope I can work it in to my 2008 schedule. The volunteers were fantastic and there were aid stations at every mile of the run.
