  • Comments: Summer of '08 was lost to a serious back injury so this was my 1st event since August 2007. It was also my 1st time in a wetsuit and I had major training challenges since mid-April (personal, family, work situations cut deeply into training). Given that and given the equipment issues I had -- especially with my running shoes -- I am very satisfied with my overall performance. I see most improved performance in the run, which I worked especially hard at. The experience with the good Samaritan who insisted I borrow his running shoes was amazing. He showed total trust in me and is further evidence that triathletes are special people. Greenbrook Racing delivers an excellent, challenging course, is very organized, and attracts an unbelievable field of athletes. Definitely recommend this race.

  • Comments: First triathlon for me. Volunteers were great, great tri for a beginner. The only time the town allows swimming in the lake is for this event, so it's very murcky with rocks on the entry and ankle deep muck at the end of the swim. Can't see at all in the water. For $80+ they should at least come up with a better shirt than one with the logo on the left breast and nothing on the back. This race was full of begginers and we want a shirt that shows off our accomplishment. That kept me from giving this a 4 rating.

  • Comments: Greenbrook racing puts on great events that are really well organized, have great volunteers & lots of them, and plenty of post-race drinks and food. My only complaint....ONLY 4 port-a-potties!!!! Not nearly enough!

  • Comments: Girls were playing on the playground and we were hanging around -Mike went to check results and came back to tell me I took first! I thought he was joking but I went to look and he wasn't! :) :) It was odd b/c waves weren't by AG - I was in the last wave w/ older folks, young folks just a bunch of different people. Maybe since I signed up yesterday I just got plunked in back. Oh well. I was happy to say the least!!
