  • Rhiannon Thomas

    Raced 2018 · Raceprompt participant report

    Tone: Mixed

    A returning novice describes helpful athletes in transition, fairly calm but murky water, and a demanding windy bike during nearby squalls. She struggled on the run but valued the support and finish. The timing provider republishes her first-person account with permission; her bike was longer than the current course.

  • Lee McCoy

    Raced 2010 · Quadrathlete

    Tone: Positive

    A first-time triathlete enjoyed calm water, encouraging spectators and volunteers, and run water tables. He recommends the event to beginners and liked his hotel stay. This historical sprint had a longer swim and bike; it does not establish current logistics or hotel value. The full indexed narrative was readable; the live page returned an access error.
