  • 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: The swim start times were way off again by about 30 minutes this year and I hate the way they do the pool swim. Other than that it is a fun race.

  • 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.

  • Comments: Since the stagger the swim start and there are 600 people, doens't really feel like a race. But a very fun one for me to do "for training".
