• Comments: This race was a gauge to let me know where I am with conditioning while taining for the Vineman Full in July. I'm halfway through the BT 20 week RPE plan and am satisfied with my results. I'll do this event next year because it's close to home, the scenery was great, and my family enjoyed the small venue feel.

• Comments: This is a small backwater race. I get that. The volunteers were great people but they didn't have the instructions and supplies to do a good job. Drink stations ran out of water on the run, course was not clearly marked (mile marker on run, T2 entrance, finish line location). The top prize was a wetsuit. I think if you are fast enough to win a race like this one you already own a pretty awesome wetsuit. How about giving the wetsuit to the top person in a rental or better yet to the top finisher who braves the 63 degree water without one. Give the top male and female a case of wine instead.
