It would be nice if the had a timing mat to walk over before jumping in the pool. The person telling us to go lost track of when we should start. My time was off by over a minute.

When passing someone at the wall make sure I get a push off the wall. Had some problems getting around people at the walls.

Transition area is a bit dicey with all the gravel and was extremely crowded due to last minute changing of the transition bike racks. Managed to change quickly and run the entire way.

Nothing is was good for me.

Hillier than I remember. The metal road on Strawbridge Road is still a hazard. Maybe next year they will change the course but I doubt it.

Could have pushed a little harder. This year I didn't have anyone around me really pushing my pace. I kind of went into relax mode up hills.

Gravel hurts feet.

Nothing is was a perfect transition for me.

I had been working on my run as of late. It helped. I was trying to get down to 7:15 miles but I ran out of gas. At the end it helped when I was passed.

Nothing. It was a good run for my fitness level.

Walked over and grabbed a slice of za.


Zoning out on the bike. I need to get a bike computer where I can see my speed all the time. The Garmin 310XT is a great watch but I feel I need the constant feedback of a dedicated in my face computer for motivation.


This year they had to re-setup the transition area AFTER most people were racked. They did not put up enough racks for the amount of bikes. I also heard they had astro turf to put down over the gravel transition but the organizer decided not to use it. Strawbridge road is dangerous. No questions about it.

Other than that it is a nice race. Everyone is friendly and does a great job. The poor decision making in the beginning did throw people off. Hopefully next year it will be better.
