  • Comments: TBF puts on great events...I am always impressed with their logistical organization. Lots of volunteers, always right on time, and very proactive in helping address any issues. I had several volunteers/staff ask me after the race how my mom was feeling, because they either saw her pull out or were helping in the kayaks/beach and were worried about her. Great organization and I'll do as many of their races as I can fit in to my schedule.

  • Comments: This is not a chipped event so my times for each segment are based on wearing a stopwatch, bike computer, and GPS watch. Final time is based on official clock time. This is a great event and I plan to do a couple of more Tris here this season.

  • Comments: they've been doing this race series for several years now, I'd say they have it down. even if it was my 1st triathlon, was impressed that it was quite organize. and good setting for triathlons.

  • Comments: Love TBF racing. Rain or shine, they always put on a quality event. Overall I was 12 minutes slower than I did at this same race last June. Pretty evenly spread over all three events I think, I was just in WAY better shape last year than I am right now.

  • Comments: This was the 3rd race I've signed up for this year where it has been pouring down rain & storming on race day. The next time this happens I swear I'll reach over and hit the off button on the clock at 3:15AM & return to bed. While I understand a lot of people have a bad first swim experience, I must say I felt utterly defeated after today's race. Fortunately, everyone claims it gets better. I hope so. Thankfully, I have other events planned in the near future where I can improve my OWS skills. On another note, as I was leaving T2, the race announcer stated there were 150 no shows for saturday's race.

  • Comments: This is my third tri, and my third with TBFracing.com and I love them! Such a well run race. I'll be back in July for the same race. I'm looking forward to racing the exact same course again, I've now got a target to shoot for, I've got to beat my time next month!

  • Comments: Only thing I would like to see different would be split times for the race. They had multiple booths to see after the race ( bike shop, tri clubs ) and free massages. Post race food was good ( pasta, fruit, salad and cookies ). Didn't make people wait around too long for the awards presentation, and handed out awards 5 deep in each age group.

  • Comments: Overall, it was a great experience for my first foray into triathlons. After investing in a bike, I'm glad I like it. Now I can ramp my training up again.

  • Comments: I met my goal time of 1:15, which was 15 min better than last year. My legs felt great, because of a good peak and taper in my training. I just went too hard on the bike, which killed me on the run.

  • Comments: Oh, the secret goal was to beat my DH. Don't know official times but he says we were "within seconds" of each other. GREAT; maybe not a clear beating but still ego boosting for me! He swam strong, biked medium, and also had a poor run!

  • Comments: The only problem I had was entry into T2 - there was a guy with a flag just inside the gate and a woman just outside waving. I figured the guy with the flag was the dismount point, but the woman started shouting at me when I passed her (and I wasn't the only one!). A sign or some other signal would have prevented the need for shouting.

  • Comments: Well I finished. I am happy with that. I need to push the swimming training. I ended up doing breaststroke for more than 50% of the swim. I kept up with some doing that. I think some open water training would help. But the key is I need to do laps..laps..laps.. I found my self not pushing as hard as I could on the bike thinking I needed to save my self for the run. Next time I will push harder on the bike. The Run was ok...I know in August I will do better. :) I will have to wait for my times to be posted online. I have no idea how I did time wise.
