  • Comments: I liked the course, it was easily the most challenging of my triathlons so far. I am extremely happy with my progress on the bike, but still have work to do on the swim and run. As others have said, the surprise off road portion of the run could have been mentioned ahead of time, and I'm not a fan of swimming in a garden.

  • Comments: Well-run race. I think there was a need for more race volunteers on the bike course, and too mush reliance of the police officers manning intersections to direct athletes. A good friend was robbed of an AG place finish due to an officer errantly waving him through a turning intersection, adding 5.2 miles to his bike segment and completely taking him out of contention. I won't call him out by name as it's water under the bridge now, but it certainly negated a very good effort that could have been avoided.

  • Comments: I just want to keep training, learning, and having fun. As long as I'm still smiling at the end of a race, I'm a happy camper. Winning my division was a wonderful experience. I really enjoyed this race. Athenas rule!

  • Comments: Last year this race was awesome. This year - not so much. Pissed that some people were directed off of course. This apparently happened several times. That just sucks. The price of the race was not worth it (95 bucks since I signed up so last minute). And they sent the awards to the wrong place so nobody got any awards... That being said I am going back next year because I like the venue.

  • Comments: I was really dissappointed with this race. Numerous problems on the course that cost people time, the awards were sent to the wrong place so no one got an award, etc. Backing out 18 minutes for the bike detour, :15 seconds for T2, and :45 seconds for the run and I would have been right around 1:21 which would have put me 1st for AG, and 6th overall. Crap that is depressing.
