Here's What People are Saying About the Orange County International Triathlon
"Thanks for a great race (the Orange County International Triathlon) on Sunday. I was part of the BOUS (Best of the US) group. I really appreciated that the run course was so well marked and well staffed with volunteers. I was worried about that since I didn't have time to preview the course and came from out of town. It was abundantly clear which way to go at every turn. Thank you! Same goes for the bike course. Anyway, thanks again for all your hard work and for a great and safe race." -Michelle Rosowsky, racer
"Fantastic job you guys! I just wanted to tell you that today's race (the Orange County International Triathlon) was very well run and you should walk with your head held high!! You will have this race in the top 20 tri destinations in the country some day...right now the locals like myself get to experience the Best of the Best in races! Also, I dont think I have ever felt so save on any course in the 18 years of racing as I did today...the sheriff's dept should also be commended on their superb protection of the athletes and spectators. I have raced some notable races that did not have the motorized public under control like those guys and gals did today!" -Keith Gierut, racer |

"From the Best of the U.S. standpoint, Mission Viejo is an appealing and easily accessible destination for athletes from every corner of the country. Many of our athletes have family or friends somewhere in Southern California; others are excited for their first visit to sunny Orange County. We are proud to introduce them to your city, where the pride and connectedness residents have for their environs really shows. It's a bonus to be able to race such a challenging course with a minimum of the concerns (traffic, etc) that accompany such an urban location. Mission Viejo offers the whole package: adequate parking, freshwater swim, challenging bike course with minimal traffic, safe and smooth transition to a run course that also is protected and off-road. In our view, the nature of your community is very much embedded with the identity of the OC Tri." -Trudy Marshall, Best of the US Amateur Triathlete Competition
"Thank you volunteers, Nadadores, YMCA, City staff, Police Services, Explorers, and the SUPER STAFF of Lake Mission Viejo! The event was wonderful and I have heard from several residents who were pleased and happy that they were able to participate or watch this event right here in our lovely City! Bill and Bob, you and your organization did an outstanding job again. This event—and all of the great support—makes the City look good so we thank you!"
-Trish Kelley, Mayor of Mission Viejo

"You guys do a great job with all three races. Although I can't say I know exactly how much work goes into putting each event on, I do know its more than most can imagine. Not only do the athletes appreciate all your efforts, but many of the local businesses appreciate having great events in the OC and all the effort you (and your group) put into the community." -Eddie Johnson, Owner of A Snail's Pace
