“The staff were all great. But the residents of Colonial Beach…they were amazing! So many were out on the course, especially the run, cheering us on as we ran. It made the race so much more fun.“
“1) After a two year absence from triathlons due to Covid and being an older athlete (72), it was the perfect tri to enter due to the flat bike and run routes. 2) I thought the swim start (one-at-a-time) was great! I hope it continues in future tri’s. 3) It was organized very well and the informational meetings and awards ceremony were just the right lengths.“
“Well organized! Perfect time of year..the water was warm, just the way I like it. Good bike course. The watermelon at the post-race festivities was greatly appreciated!“
Thank you for making this event your first triathlon! There are many more people like yourself who will be racing this type of event for the first time. Please note that we no longer have a Novice category/division. We now start all of our races with a time trial start (One at a time) so you can start the race where you feel most comfortable. We do however have what we call a nervous swimmer swim cap. If you are nervous about the swim make sure to ask for the nervous swimmers cap at packet pick up.
