  • Comments: Every year Eddie and group have slowly taken away the great things about this race. He didn't even have kayakers on the water and it was the worst swim year ever with all the wind. Sad!

  • Comments: Main complaint is the swim location. Way too rocky, both getting in and out of the water. Maybe they could add those mats that I've seen at other races all the way from the edge of the water through the entire transition area.

  • Comments: Lack of volunteers on this race kind of messed up with the Bike in. I think they should have had a sign there just like they had it everywhere else. Although with the lack of volunteers, I liked this better than Lake Las Vegas Tri, but not better than IronGirl.

  • Comments: Decent race I guess. Expo was lame, t-shirt was lame, finishers medal was sweet and they gave out free coffee mugs. This race has been going on for 15 years or something, but it's too hilly for me. Cut the crap out of my feet and hand on the rocks in the lake during the swim. And doesn't anybody organize FLAT race courses anymore??? I won't be back for this one.

  • Comments: overall good race experience. everything was organized, course clearly marked. did see some of the olympic distance cyclists cutting course short though.. would be nice to have more volunteers directing cyclists when they are coming back towards road that leads to transition... but then again the cyclist should know the course....

  • Comments: It's hard for me to rate this race as it is my first. However, I thought I had a timing chip problem from the beginning and I alerted a volunteer to the problem. The volunteer neither attempted to resolve my issue nor alert other staff. Consequently, I have no data on my my performance in the individual events (other than the swim), which would have been helpful for training.

  • Comments: This was my first event and I was very excited. Everyone was so supportive of us newbies and I felt like I fit right in. there was a lot of encouragement going around to everyone there and I will continue to make this event a must in my scheduling. I hope to move up to the Olypic course either in 2009 or 2010 for sure.
