  • Comments: I enjoyed this race. It was my first tri, so I have nothing to compare against, but they seemed very organized and enthusiastic. I had a lot of fun talking with volunteers and other contestants. The information about competing and good stories flowed. Great race.

  • Comments: Overall it's a good race. Having the swim in between the bike and the run makes the swim harder (starting with high HR), but makes the run easier (legs get to loosen up in the pool). Overall the organization is good and the traffic control was better this year than last. I still think they take too long getting the results posted (both on raceday and on the web), but that's a minor flaw. I also wish they would time T1 and T2, but given that they do the timing manually I understand.

  • Comments: For a sprint race, even though the events were run BIKE - SWIM - RUN... this was a really well put on race and everything about it was enjoyable...even the burn on the hills. Plus I kind of liked the mass bike start. Fun to start with speed instead of giving head starts to everyone in the water. This was the 33rd annual running of this event, the longest run triathlon in the world... so they know how to put on a smooth well run race. Even when they had 100 more entrants than they expected. Fun high altitude race.

  • Comments: Really liked the race, didn't like the transition between bike/swim. Had to run across rock/rough surface barefoot and too far. Will plan on doing it again next year.
