Yes I did it. It was my first Triathlon and I turn 54 in a few weeks. I thought it was very well organized the course was great, the volunteers were outstanding. I will be doing this race again.

I agree whole heartily that it is very well run. Have done the race in 89, 90, 92, 93, 01 and as a relay member last year. This year I did the Olympic distance. I highly recommend it to those looking for their first race. Hard to believe they put so many people through.

I agree, it was very well ran! Was my first time there. I did the Duathlon because the thought of coming out of the water and running to the bike in that cold didn't sound like too much fun.

I was happy with my first run, held back enough to push it through the bike and last run but started having some pretty good calf cramps in the last 5k of the bike. Had to really hold back so I could make it through. Wasn't happy with my time, but overall it was a good start to the season.

Looking forward to the rest of the year!

cheers.

Oh, so YOU were the one!!!! Just kidding.

Big thanks to ALL the volunteers as that IS what makes the race so good. As far as the weather was concerned, it was just about as good as you could ask for the first of March. Part of the race tactics are what you should wear. Saw a couple of hard core doing the whole thing in their Speedo. The guy's body was bright red.

This was my first TRI and I thought the event was very well organized. Looking to move up to an Olympic TRI later this Spring.
