WHAT PARTICIPANTS HAVE TO SAY ABOUT THE EVENT

Thanks for a great race. This was only my second race ever in Washington, and despite the weather, it was very very well run. I found the course very easy to navigate despite all of the quirks and loops, and I felt safe out there. Those are purely organizational accomplishments. A well-run race is a safe and easy race. Thanks a lot- A big hand to all of the race organizers.

Sincerely,
David

First off I would like to say thank you for putting on a great race yesterday. Despite the weather, your volunteers handled the road crossings and turns not the bike well. Staff at the water stations were clear about what they were giving you and it was a good course.

Thanks,

I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful event. I participated in the Long Course Tri on Saturday. I am the one who finished at the very end but you would have thought I finished first. The volunteers were terrific. All the water stations were still out on the course when I passed them, even the last station in the park. They hung in there with encouraging words as I, the last runner came through. The announcer stayed around to announce me across the finish line. For a 56-year-old who fulfilled a dream of doing a long course triathlon, this was certainly the race to do.

Thanks, again. Hope to see you again next year.
