  • Comments: Apparently the griddle wouldn't heat up, so no pancakes. :-( But credit to the team for improvising with donuts, snack mix, cookies, cereal, etc. Plenty to munch on. Chatted with Aaron, Marci, Steve, and Shannon. The skies had clouded and the wind picked up; it was getting cool. It was going to be a while until everyone finished, so we took the kids to McDonalds for pancakes before coming back for awards.

  • Comments: Well organized and lots of fun. Despite long transition and chip lines, they got us going within about 10 minutes of stated starting time. I'll do it again next year for sure...

  • Comments: 14 min. faster than the last race on this course so I can't be to down on the time. I really felt that I would be faster on the run. I am excited to start training for the next race!

  • Comments: Still a great race, however I think it is growing too big for its location. The indoor pool with the seeded start is pretty terrible if you're towards the back as you can wait quite some time to get into the pool. Still a great beginner race, but I think they need to start limiting the number of participants.

  • Comments: I did not know that we were going to get a finishing medal. That was a surprise. This was my second Tri and I placed second in my clydsdale division. I am racing in this division as a goal to get out of the division and race in my own age group. I love this sport.

  • Comments: DA did a much better job with this one as compared to past experiences with them. Nice tech shirt (or you could have chosed a hoodie). Fleece beanie. Chip line was long and as usual, awards took forever. But, they did a better job with this one.

  • Comments: My first race-This race was AWESOME! So great to be athletic again. I loved it and am very happy with my performace. Need to work harder during bike workouts and short run workouts. The practice Bike to Run Bricks were key for finishing strong. Can't wait until the next one! I felt fierce--that was my word of the day.
