TESTIMONIALS:
5/17/08 "I participated in the race today. My one comment would be that you need to provide better support for the swim. The markers were too far apart, so women were crossing over into the oncoming men. In addition, there were not enough kayaks in the water to help people who were swimming astray. I suggest more markers and more kayaks, with some kayaks positioned between the markers to prevent crossovers and to provide more objects for people to look for and keep on track. Otherwise, I love the race and love the fact that it is small. The police and volunteers on the bike course were great (especially the police with the bullhorn at the very sharp right turn). And I loved the new run course. Thanks!" -Naomi Furgiuele

It is the first time I have done this Olympic Distance Tri; the course was great and the volunteers were really enthusiastic.

9/13/10 "Bruce, From past experience I know that sometimes Race Directing can be a thankless task. I wanted to write to you to express my appreciation that you organize a race with such character that is truly both challenging and enjoyable. The running on the sand, while being as pleasurable as listening to Celine Dion was a wonderfully unique twist, oh the inhumanity! Thank you once again, and I hope that you will once again organize it next year, I shall be sure to add it to my calendar. Regards" -Andrew Murdock
