  • Comments: I've never had a bad race here. Good organization, excellent sponsorship by Outspokin' bike shop, and pretty decent post-race stuff. Pizza, hot dogs, drinks, etc. Nothing outstanding, but decent stuff. I've done this one three years in a row now. I like this race, it's a great start to the multisport season.

  • Comments: Organization comments...The pre-race stuff was a disaster. They didn't have enough people at the registration tables, they had only one line for pre-registered and non, they weren't moving fast enough, and the race was delayed by 20 minutes. They need to come up with a better system for this. And the worst part is, its run by a company that usually does really well with organization and race management. Plus, after the race you had to cross over the course while people were finishing to get to the post-race refreshments. No water at the finish line. Event comments...My bike was slower than last year's bike, but my runs were a lot faster. I ran high 23's in the runs last year. It was unfortunate that I went from 38th to 66th in the bike, but I'm used to that by now!! I had a great race overall though, and set a new PR for the 5K/10mi/5K duathlon distance. It's pretty tough since most du's are usually a 1 mile run at the end of the race. So I was happy to pass 10 people on the

  • Comments: My first Duathlon. I am surprised at how much more effort it is than a triathlon at this sprint level. It's all lower body. Without the swim, the legs work twice as hard. There is really no upper body exertion here. Still, I'm thrilled. I came in 10 minutes faster than I thought I would. I was shooting for 1:30:00. Last year I never came in better than last in my age group (save for Suncoast which I was 28 of 32) and never came in above the bottom 25% in any race. This time I was at 54% in age group and 39% in the entire race. Plus with a Du being physically longer than a tri, I can count on my tri time coming WAY down from my personal best time of 1:24:23 last year to something around 1:12:00 or better...at least I HOPE so!!!
