  • Comments: Great race, I am lucky to have such a great race so close to home. Not to mention got my first hardware! I was 38th overall, 10 in AG, but I was the first local. 1st place trophy for Gem county, plus a sweet gift certificate to McU Sports! The RD for the last 13 years retired after this race, here's hoping that the new RD can keep this race just as Excellent!

  • Comments: This was a great race as usual and this year it was a learning experience b/c of the bike issue, I had to really push the boundaries and I came out on top, that was very cool, I enjoyed digging deep, think pissed off/frustration is a good thing for my brain, I just wanted to go as hard as I could.

  • Comments: It was a great race, had a ball. It was hot but not nearly as bad as I expected,though really on the 2nd loop of the run it felt really hot but may have only been 85. was able to dump water on head and chest at each station, that was nice. Oh one thing, when I started running my stomach was swashing around, gross. I looked later and my 24oz bottle was only 1/2 gone, I had one gel about 25min b/f swim, 1 gel 25min into the bike and a few maybe 6 of those caffiene gelly beans. Guess that was too much...or maybe the kaopectate which I took 45min b/f the swim didn't settle right, not sure. Eventually the sloshing stopped, I chose to throw the water on me instead of drink it, took maybe 2 or 3 tiny sips to wet mouth.

  • Comments: This is a great race. Rudy Project donated some prizes for the winners so I won a brand new pair of sun glasses, which was awesome. They also gave out sweet cowbells to the overall winners and I got one of those as well. This is an excellent race.

  • Comments: This was a great race! Very well organized, visible officials on the bike course, lots of crowd/community support, lots of racers from beginners doing the sprint to very fast, very competitive people. I hope to do this race every year.

  • Comments: I love this race. It was the place of my first ever-tri and it's the course that I can always compare my efforts too. I have two more races planned for this season-I'm gonna try and get better. I'm already pumped for next year.

  • Comments: This was my first outdoor triathlon and I loved it. Emmett was a great first race and I highly recommend it and will probably do it again. Everyone involved was friendly and helpful. They had a record turnout which is awesome, but people didn't get there early enough and they probably could have used more buses. As a result they had to start 15 minutes late. It would be nice if they brought in more outhouses - the lines were really bad - not good right before the race. Could maybe have clearer signs at the run turnaround. Overall it was great though.

  • Comments: This was a good race overall. I'm sure I'll do it again next year just so that I can really see some improvement. Husband says it's not fair to compare different races like Redfish with this one because even though the distance is the same there are so many other variables involved.
