Reviews/feedback on this race; I'm kinda tossed up between this and the WiseTri; only 10 miles travel difference.

They're completely different weekends, do both.

Other than that, Playtri is a good race. Can get crowded on the bike course as it's 4 loops for the Oly and 2 for the sprint and eventually almost everyone is on the course at the same time. It is a fast bike with a few small hills. The run is slighly hilly and challenging out and back course.

It's going to be hard to compare against a race that has never been done though. Seriously, do both. The sprint at one and the Oly at the other if you are considered about racing too much. Racing is way more fun than just training all the time.

I second the bike course, I did the sprint last year but 4 loops would have been too much (lots of people out there)

The swim was also a little different, we jumped in at a doc and swam over to the start (deep water start)  I also think transition could have been placed in a better spot.  You have to run 150 yards to T1 and then a hill right out of T2.

Don't get me wrong I liked the race, and I'll be there this year.

I've done the Oly and didn't really notice the bike course being too crowded. If anything, it helps having the extra people out there for motivational and legal drafting purposes.

Is there a limit on racers and does it typically sell out? I'm holding off go sign up until mid september, but don't want to miss it because of my procrastination.
