  • Comments: I've raced 6 of the 7 Hy-Vee Triathlons. The changes made this year (finish line less impressive, pros race move in location and time, lesser expo, lesser finish area) removed some of the luster of the race. When compared to other local triathlons, it still shines, of course. Once again, cannot say enough good things about the wonderful volunteers.

  • Comments: Great volunteers! Thank you so much to the people that come out and allow me to have fun! Events on time was a no due to delay from thunderstorms, definitely not anyone's fault.

  • Comments: I know this is still a young race, and HyVee tries so hard to make it go off smoothly. But this year was worse than last year. The delayed start, the long wait as a result, the post-race area seemed a bit 'less' than last year (I can't explain why, it just didn't have the same feel). It seems on my limited experience (and talking with others) that they address one issue one year, and then another new one pops up the next. But overall it's a very, very good race with great people. If my schedule allows, I'll definitely be back every year.
