Awesome race!
Good and challenging sprint race. … A little more than expected traffic on the bike.

Challenging sprint race
This is a great, well run race. The transition setup seems complicated on paper but it not a problem at all. I would prefer the swim start was by age group but overall this is my favorite local race!

This one is for you
Nice job. Small triathlon which makes it awesome for someone new to the sport. Very challenging bike course though due to rolling hills. Had a great time.
