  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: Not happy with no water at last 2 stops. I understand that I and several others were the last ones on the course and that stops may not be manned that late into a race, but water should be left behind if it is advertised the race will have water stops.. Other than that, race was good and course was challenging for me. I will do it again next year but will be better prepared for it mentally and physically.. I learned something about myself from this race as I do from all that I participate in. I struggled but I finiahed it and didn't give up.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was a good, low-key, fairly informal event, in a nice country-like setting. If only we had a nice big, undeveloped piece of open land like this near the beach in the South Bay...

  • Comments: This is a splendidly low-key race. Its a fantastic course. Its pretty well organized. Sure there are peculiar things about it, no pre race day packet pick up, no transition splits and, most irkingly, no body markings. (I love body markings) Minor tri infractions. I recommend this race venue to all. They have four or five races here annually and its a great way to measure your progress over or across the seasons. The people are great and all of the "big bones" aspects of this race are well tended to. Just watch out for killer geese.

  • Comments: I love Bonelli - no it isn't ever really on time, yes there was a problem where we had to wait to get into the park. Perhaps there could be moe aid stations etc but I don't know there is something just quite downhome about Bonelli - it is not a slick production race but more of a passion - put on by people who love the sport.

  • Comments: The race was phenomenally organized. Everything ran perfectly. Race staff and volunteers were plentiful, supportive, and super friendly. Cops were awesome and bike course was very secure. Lots of cheerers with cowbells! I'd never heard them on a course before! Tons of water stops on the run (badly needed), which was very well marked out (I frequently get lost on run courses). The schwag was good, and the sweetest woman saved a bunch of freebies to hand out to last-place finishers. My only thoughts for improvement: if possible, a swim exit without mud, and a water station on the bike course; mile markers on the run (there were lots of signs, so it would have been easy to Sharpie a number on five or six of them); Gatorade on the run course (expensive, but the heat was really bad and ppl. were cramping--just plain salt packets OK, too).

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: I don't feel I can give this race a low rating, as I think the problems were my own and had little to do with the actual race. The race directors were really nice about the fact that we were completely incompetent athletes, and they still made us feel good about crossing the finish line with hugs and cheers and congratulations. All personnel did a great job of directing traffic and giving us the right-of-way whenever cars were present. The water stations on the run still had some water when we got there (though I really could have used some water on the bike). I would NOT recommend that beginners or people who are "casual triathletes" do this race, unless they happen to be really good cyclists who aren't bothered by the hills.
