  • Comments: I was super impressed with this race. The courses were very well marked and there were lots of volunteers. Nice food afterwards and a great hat as well as the standard tee-shirt. I'll put it on my calendar for next year for sure.

  • Comments: This is really a fun race. The park is beautiful, the lake is clean, the roads are smooth, the run is flat, and the volunteers are plentiful. But the t-shirts were ugly this year. Oh well, you can't have it all...

  • Comments: The race seemed well organized with lots of volunteer support. The bike course in particular is really fast, and I'd have only minor quibbles with the swim and run segments. Definitely a good sprint to do in mid-season.

  • Comments: This is a great race for newbies. My CC coach is really excited about getting into tri's after being at one. Since it was my wife's first also I think she was impressed with the organization and the effort put into them.

  • Comments: because i placed last year at this race, i started to feel some stress about how i would do, especially since my performace was less than stellar at my last two races (buffalo oly and the bjorklund 1/2 marathon). i'd been sick prior, but not doing my best had placed some seeds of doubt in my mind about my overall fitness this year. i had a couple really good runs this week, but i was still nervous. i have a friend who is working on learning how to do hypnotherapy and touch point work, so i was her guinea pig the night before the race. we talked about my anxiety and she helped me focus on my one true goal - to have a good race and a good time. i was sceptical, but i really did feel better after we did the visualizations and touch point stuff. amazing. i felt relaxed and happy. i made sure that i kept 'have fun' in my mind the morning of the race, and tried to let go of any expectations. i almost left my watch behind, but couldn't quite let go THAT much. i kept my cyclometer on rpm and miles,
