  • Comments: The only majorissue was the crazy long wait for results. Also, I amalmost positive I qualified for Alcatraz with a 2nd place AG finish, but no info on this is posted to the site. I would love to race alcatraz again so I can finish (had a broken foot this year and could only do the swim).

  • Comments: I thought the race was organised really well. On the bike course particularly I thought the Police and volunteers did an outstanding job. Not only did they control the traffic well, but on a couple of occasions I heard really helpful comments such as "rough section right after corner" which I find really helpful and safe. Will be back next year if I can get an entry.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This has been my only race of the season each of the past 3 years. The course has gotten progressively harder each year which can be a good thing looking back on it, but during the race I hate it. Now that I'm out of school I think it's time to add a few more to my schedule next summer. Having spent 3 summers working for race organizers of a large triathlon, I was very impressed with how smoothly everything ran despite the logistics. The volunteers (and cops) were great, especially out on the bike course controlling traffic. I only encountered a couple not so smart drivers. I will continue to do this race and I really appreciate the reduction in price and separate registration for the 24 and under participants. The road might not be the best for the bike, but compared to Manhattan and River Road in NJ it's not bad at all.

  • Comments: This race slipped a little for me this year. When I first did this race it had a very local feel but since it has become a National Qualifier it has gotten too big and too cookie cutter. The price has gone up dramatically the past few years. Good race festivities but same as the past with a higher price tag.
