  • Comments: I LOVE this race! HFP always puts on fantastic, safe, well organized events and I give them an A+ for this. Much love goes out to all the volunteers...college kids who got up at the crack of dawn on a Saturday to stand at intersection or pass out water, you guys are the best! Thanks to the OPD for blocking off the traffic on the bike course, and much thanks to the bike techs from Cincy Trek for saving my bacon before the race.

  • Comments: THis was the perfect first race. The distance was just right, and now I am looking forward to some slightly-longer sprints this summer. The volunteers and organizers did a great job. I had a great time. I found out where I need to focus my training, and I want to get better. I want a better bike (though I am not blaming my poor bike leg on the bike alone). When I first germinated the idea of a triathlon last summer, I almost immediately told myself, "yeah right. You will never be able to commit to dedicated training in one sport, let alone three." I barely told anyone about it, because I didn't want to have to face up to it if I backed out. The closer it came to spring, the more confident I got, but I was still pretty unsure when I clicked "Submit" and signed up for this race. I think I doubted myself right up til the minute I hit the water. So, it's not an ironman. I didn't save the world. But I set a pretty big goal for myself and did it. And I've already set the bar higher

  • Comments: After pineman last year, I was worried about doing another HFP race, but this one was great. Everything was on time, there was plenty of food, the volunteers were great too.

  • Comments: HFP, as always, ran an outstanding race! The volunteers were awesome and I thanked all the ones I rode past on the bike course because these college kids would have much rather been in bed early on a saturday but they stood out on these farm roads freezing to death so we could go out and play. I will do this again next year, only dressed warmer!

  • Comments: This was really a great race. Put on my MU's student foundation and HFP racing. They did a great job, lots and lots of folks on the course to direct and cheer, very well organized. I will do it again next year!
