  • Comments: Fun race. I love these Highlands Ranch races. I prefer OWS for sure, but this is a fun alternative. The bike and run courses are challenging and make me appreciate how awesome this state is. RD and her staff do a terrific job. I won a t-shirt and a gold medal for my AG too- that's always fun :)

  • Comments: I like the little local format. Surprised the were only 122 entrants, but nice to have the experience at the other end of the spectrum from Boulder Peak

  • Comments: Another good tri for Highlands Ranch. I wish BKB would list all of the rankings in each discipline. Unless you were in the top 15 overall in each part or in the top three in your age group, you can't get your rankings.

  • Comments: It's a first time event so all in all, it was well done. The distance errors affected everyone so that wasn't a big deal but it did screw up times (I also didn't need to go any farther that I needed to on my first triathlon). Post race nutrition/beverages were lacking. There was only water to drink and nachos and cheese from Qdoba. No gatorade, bananas, bagels, etc. Plus, I really like seeing a table full of beer at the finish (this is the best thing that has happened to running races). Will definitely do it again next year and plan on doing at least three per summer. Now I just have to figure out this open water swim thing...

  • Comments: Since this is my first race, I don't have anything to compare it to. My only suggestion would be to have better post race food for the competitors. The last thing I really want to eat when I'm finished racing is chips and queso. I thought this first year race went very smoothly and it was well run. I plan on doing it again next year.
