  • Comments: I am pleasantly suprised at how well the race went organization wise. IOther than a few hiccups (common and easily overcome for next time) I think they did an awesome job for a first time event. I was dissapointed that one of the sponsors was Sam Adams and there was no beer at the end, but heh, I got over it. This event will only get bigger and better with the coming years, I predict. The RD is already working on adding a youth race next year and as long as the Navy is involved it has to have a decent organization to it. Heard a couple people comment that it was cool to run with the two aircraft carriers as a back drop. I highly recommend this race to anyone that can make it.

  • Comments: For a first time triathlon on Naval Station Newport, they sure pulled off a FABULOUS job! Lots of great things in the goodie bag including a technical, long sleeved shirt. This race is CHEAP, and to get good stuff like that is wonderful. Very well run and organized. Great food options at end of race. Highly recommend it!

  • Comments: For a first time event, this was a great race. There were very few issues. One being no port-a-potties available and the other was no dismount line. Lots of aide stations, great course and great people. Definitely will do this one next year and suggest it to everyone I know. Had a great time!

  • Comments: This was a really good race. I am very happy with the swim and the bike...the run, not so much. I usually can judge how I did from my wife's reaction. She seem genuinely surprised where I finished...quite honestly so was I. For a first year race this was outstanding. Two words: omlet station. Yes...at the finish they had cooks doing omlets and pancakes. Plenty of everything. Very nice.
