  • Comments: This is the first triathlon I did when I started triathlons. 4 years later, I got my first age group award here today! Was super pyched. My friend got 1st and is in my age group, so that knocked me from 3rd to 2nd in AG and I got a little plaque.

  • Comments: I enjoyed this course more than the previous year, but it was cooler this year and that probably played a big role in my enjoyment. Plus the hills didn't seem nearly as bad this year - mostly because I was expecting them this time around. So many snacks available post race, more than the participants could eat.

  • Comments: The volunteers did great! There were plenty of them and they were nice. Some of them wanted me to walk in the transition area (even without bike). I guess I thought you could at least run in transition area, so not sure if they were misinformed or if I am. The event was organized, but was basic, which is ok. Good music. I wish more spectators would have been on the run route as it was rather lonely along the trail.

  • Comments: I'm a little partial this being my first and now second tri, but seriously, everything is coned off, there are tons of volunteers, great post race food, lots of support from fans around start/transitions/finish (subsequently all in the same area). I was sure to scream "THANKS" every now and again to the volunteers and policemen stopping/redirecting traffic and allowing us to race. The newer course of the bike leg was fun, didn't get to see people as often, but it was fast paced and a little longer than the average sprint.

  • Comments: Total time- 1:10:18; 4th overall, 3rd in my AG but because the overall winner was in my AG, I rolled up to 2nd. Hardware is always a nice reward at these things. Overall, this was an outstanding race for several reasons: 1) I was very proud of my 4th place overall finish and my age group award; 2) Swee took 3rd overall and 2nd in our AG but like me, rolled up one spot to 1st place because of the overall winner; 3) Rob took 12th overall and 2nd in his AG. So, by doing so, we accomplished our goal of all coming home with some hardware. Interestingly enough, in 2009, I finished this race with the same bike course in 1:07:29, almost 3 minutes faster. Or course, the conditions today were brutal so that certainly played a large roll. Still, I think I can do better here if I actually train how I know I need to, should, and want to. Like us Cubs fans always say, next year. :) I plan on being back yet again next year as I age up into the 35-39. category.

  • Comments: 2011 - This was my 3rd Sprint Tri this year. I just started training for these in Dec/Jan....at 40 years old. This was a tough race for me due to the heat and the hills. I am glad that we didn't have to do the whole bike race on the 3ft trails. I have done two races where the bike position is set out for you based on your race number and one where it was first come first serve.... I personally like to have a spot picked out for me. The race was done well, started on time, and all of the participants and volunteers were friendly and encouraging. The only complaint I would have is that there were no pictures taken at the finish line.

  • Comments: It was fun to race with friends, and all of the other people at the race were quite friendly. The bike course could be safer, I hope they get it changed for next year as hoped.

  • Comments: I'm not a huge fan of the bike course with the narrow bike trail (and the hills-but that's a personal problem), but this was one of the most well-organized races I've done. The volunteers were plentiful and helpful, and the course was very clearly marked. I never once questioned where I was going. The awards were fun--very supportive--as some of the later finishers came in, they made sure to stop and cheer them on. Overall, I was really pleased and would definitely do it again.

  • Comments: Very good race, especially for the first time triathlete. Only problem, they limit the field to approx. 200 athletes. This race fills up quick. This was my first triathlon 2 years ago. I'm glad I was able to race it again. I did shave 10 minutes from the previous time I did this race. Would like to race it again in a year or two.

  • Comments: I think this is a great race and pretty well organized and run. It started on time and I thought they did a great job with the course markings. This is an excellent race for first timers. They limited it to around 200 people so that made it nice that there wasn't a huge crowd of people. Overall I was happy with my performance and would definitely go back to this race again next year.
