Google Anderson Race Management.  I am not thrilled about their results format, but thought they ran a good and fun race.

Agreed the data displayed on Andersons website is poor.  This is the direct link.

I also pulled it all into a spreadsheet and reworked it.  This includes the finishers only.

The files are the same, except one is a csv and the other is the new excel format.  I would have posted it in the older excel format, but it's too large that way.

It is the type of start where triathletes line up by number and then take off one every so-many seconds.  We started every five seconds at One Last Tri.  Other types include mass starts where everyone takes off together or wave starts where age groups or other "waves" take off every few minutes.  There are plusses and minuses to each type.


Thanks. In 5 years of doing Tri's, I've only ever done wave starts. The TT start sounds interesting.

I had fun as this was my first tri.   Funny thing was, I thought I was lost in the woods on the run.  I passed a volunteer who told me to go left and that there were two small bridges and to be careful of my footing on them.  It took a long time to get to them and then... I didn't see anybody in front of me.  I passed a couple turns with no volunteers and was convinced I was leading a few people the wrong way with me.  I did manage to stay on track though.  It also took until about mile and a half on the run for me to realize that blood does still flow to my feet and my toes didn't start to tingle until after mile 2.  It was a blast for me but that could be because it was my first one EVER.  I have been looking for any updates on next year's tri schedule but have not found anything.  Does anybody have any leads on any for next year?

Congrats on your first tri.  As for leads for next year, I troll the following sites besides beginnertriathlete, but generally speaking things don't start showing up until Jan/Feb.

Congrats on doing the first one! Most event website (the specific triathlon's homepage) have the date for next year's event posted, but you'll find that registration doesn't open until Jan or Feb. Keep in mind that the more popular ones are often sold out by April.
