• Comments: Overall, this was a fantastic race. Los Alamos is a nice little town tucked away in the beautiful Jemez mountains just west of Santa Fe. Although the course was short, the altitude and hills made it challenging and the scenery kept it from being boring. The unique format (bike, swim, run) was also nice. The swim allowed your legs to recover a little before the run. The only negative I have is the pre-race organization. The bike racks weren't marked and the racks were too close and didn't allow any place to put transition gear. Also, having two transition areas was not ideal because you couldn't get to the T2 area until after getting out of the pool (so you either had to have two pairs of sunglasses or not wear them on the run). Overall, it was a great race and I would definately do it again if I have the chance.
