  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This turned out to be a smaller race than I had expected. Two years ago there were 250 people in the long course race, this year only 148. Of course two years ago they did not have a 5150 and a new Kansas Triathlon, both costing more for race entry than this race. Who knows.... I did like the beer mug in lieu of a finishers medal.

  • Comments: While I ranked this as Average, I thought it was really well done, despite the longer swim and CLEARLY short bike course (come on, no way I averaged 23...). But, I thought the course was fun, everyone was in great spirits, and overall had few problems. The one complaint I do have is there was no one monitoring the turn around, just a sign the said turn around. I didn't see anyone cutting it short, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen.... All in all, a good small local race on a gorgeous day.

  • Comments: I'd participate in it again. Probably the short course next time. I would have been fine only swimming 750m instead of 1500m.
