  • Comments: I enjoyed this race, and it fit in well with my training goals for this month. Despite the logistical issues, the volunteers and officials were great - efficient and helpful. I especially enjoyed being able to race directly with my only competitor. This is very much a first time triathlete's race.

  • Comments: I'm very happy with getting first in my age group and feel like I'm starting to improve. Especially since this was not an A race for me.

  • Comments: This is a really fun race for people of all ages. Good crowd and good volunteers. Having done this race multiple times, we all know that the swim will start 30-60 minutes late, and just figure that in to my day. While it sucks, we all know this and accept it. I would definitely recommend this race to a beginner, and would recommend it to anyone looking for a fun, well put together race.

  • Comments: 10th year, still loving this race. My only complaint is the bike distance changes over the years. I believe this is due to local construction, however, so I am cool with it....

  • Comments: My only real issue is that I was allowed to pass by people who were supposed to keep me on the correct path- they were literally stopping traffic in the intersection letting me go the wrong way. They were cops, so they get a little pass on that I guess since they're not official "race volunteers" but still, the other cops on the route kept me going the right direction. Oh- and the swims were an hour early? That was both good and bad- good because they were early so I got to go out earlier, bad because I had to call my family and make them get going a lot earlier than they thought. I told them to be there 40 minutes early, but that wasn't enough. They made it though. So all is well.

  • Comments: I was expecting to rock this race. I felt like I have done the training. I'm happy about my bike split considering the wind. Just disappointing in losing count in the pool and forgetting to breathe deep on the last mile of the bike. My conditioning felt good, I guess I should have been more focused.

  • Comments: Great local race put on by Myron! Met FF stock, saw 3sportthing and zev and ray. Met a new BT'er dan! Got a Fat tire cycle jersey for 2nd place. Cheered on everyone as they got there awards. Michele was 2nd in her age group. Her swim was 11:28 and the winner had a 7 minute swim. She only lost by 30 seconds! Great day!

  • Comments: The overall race was good even though I was skeptical after the packet pickup yesterday. I feel that this was a good tri to use as my first tri.

  • Comments: The swim was a little disorganized, but in this case it worked in my favor as I was able to start earlier than I would've otherwise. Everything else was pretty well-organized and there were plenty of volunteers and police at all the crucial intersections on the bike. Fun, relaxed race atmosphere with a decently challenging course. Nice fleece vests, too.

  • Comments: The only part that wasn't organized too well was the pool swim. Showed up a half hour before the projected swim time as directed to find out that it really didn't matter what time you showed...if you could find 4 or 5 people with close times-they would put you in a lane. We probably could have started an hour earlier had we known. Good food!!

  • Comments: The Fall Frenzy is a well run race. The registration could use more people - stood in line about 40 minutes - too long. But - on the whole - a race I'll continue to do. I like the course - and is a nice level of competition.

  • Comments: The swim was very trying. They need to take a page from Highlands Ranch's book and organize the swim heats by lane, starting time, etc. Other than that, this really was a very good tri. Volunteers were awesome, lots of drinks, and a nice grassy transition area. Unfortunately, the swim makes the first impression and it was very frustrating. They may also need to have a few packet pickups as the lines were very long on Saturday .

  • Comments: The swim and the run were perfect, loved both courses and felt challenged. The bike course was VERY hard for me and my inabilites. It was decently run, lots of good food and nice volunteers and they didn't run out of water like the tri-for the cure did.

  • Comments: This was the first race I ever did 4 years ago. I really do like it, but wish it wasn't so late in the year. I am thrilled with this result and now am very motivated for next year (can I bottle this until January?) It was great to do well in all areas where I really didn't have many expectations. I hung out with Matt, Jen, Zev, saw Chris, Julia, Scott and several other BTers. Got to hang with my friend from my youth and saw an old fraternity brother. So many people and familiar faces. It was awesome. Not sure if I'll do this race next year, as I want to focus on starting my season a little earlier (this year my first race was in July). Special thanks goes to Julia who just got back from Europe and still was there cheering for everyone. Thanks to everyone for keeping me motivated.

  • Comments: My goal was to place in the top 3 in the Clydesdale division. I came in 2nd. I might have done a little better if I kept up my training since completing the 5430 long course. However I improved my time by 5 minutes from last year, so all in all, it was a good race

  • Comments: This is a fun, low key race. It was the first one I did last year. My time improved by 14 minutes so I'm making progress! I was 19th out of 299 females so I'm pleased with that.

  • Comments: This is a really good race as far a pool swim is concerned. It was organized but the post race activities could have been a little better. The timing company, although accurate, seemed a little slow to post times. They at least had them up the next day so all in all it was a really good race!

  • Comments: This is a great local race, except for the pool swim. I will likely do it again,but have to prepare more for it, mentally and physically. I am quite unimpressed by my swim, my bike, and my run (although I salvaged the run),but I was eight minutes faster than last year, and nearly executed my plan to shave ten minutes off. *Full race details came out today 9/10/07 and I was 16th out of 42 vs 24 of 45 in my age group so I am a little happier about my race.
