  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I have to be honest - I didn't love it. The course was pretty boring and the T-shirt and the medal were way lame (not that I race for the goodie bag, but these were some of the worst I've seen in 20+ years of competitive sports). I'd rather have chip timing and no SWAG or a cheaper race entry instead. My first triathlon was such a great, inspiring experience that this (my second) really didn't live up to my expectations. One cool thing was that there were a lot of kids there both for the 5k and the Tri. I would think this would be a great race for a family or a child who wants to get out there and give it a shot. For me, it was fine as something to do, but I won't be back.

  • Comments: The actual race and everything was great. Only thing really to improve on for them would be to have some decent food at the end and maybe go over instructions better for new folks.

  • Comments: A good first experience. My only complaint is that I had to time my splits myself, since there were no chips. I had a lot of fun and am now hopelessly addicted.

  • Comments: This is a fun, well-organized race. Many people told me that this was a great first time triathlon, and all that was true. I was hoping to finish under 1:30 and I was under that by 15 minutes. If I hadn't douched T2 I might have been much closer to 1:10
