The race today was beyond my expectations! The crowd, the volunteers, the location - everything. As a first time triathlete, I was so nervous signing up for this but I was in the best hands: all i felt was encouragement and love and support from the race director to the staff who helped me learn to rack my bike to the volunteers who gave me water and so many others. DelMoSports is the best- I’ll be back next year!

I love this race. It's my 2nd and I was looking forward to it all year. The positive and supportive energy from Team DelMo and all of the volunteers is simply contagious. And it means a lot to any triathlete, especially to those starting out. I am a 1st year triathlete, relatively new to the sport, and can appreciate a well-run event. And DelMo races are top notch. Thank you.

You put on great races. I’d come even if you didn’t just to support you in the small way I can! But I’m sincere in my feedback. You are separating yourself from your peers in race promotion with your attention to detail. That is what matters. Any race that has the infrastructure to support both professional athletes and first timers is doing it right. Your race is unique and has taken a step forward each year I’ve participated. As you expand even further, I encourage you to stay true to your original philosophy and spirit as much as possible. When I look at other successful races that have grown and developed from something small, this underlying theme is consistent. Though they may have grown to be elaborate races, they retain their “grassroots” and community feel. This is why I like your race so much. It feels part of the town of Wildwood, and community support is apparent. Or…it feels as though the race is “for the community,” as opposed to being “for the race directors,” which is often the case in lesser races. I think St Anthony’s is a close example to your race. It is interwoven into the community, and is unique because of that nuance. The experience is more than the race itself. Many other races exist outside of the community, in venues that are removed from the community, without much involvement from the community. These races feel shallow and empty, and as racer, I’m left with an experience that is wholly defined by just the event and my performance. At St Anthony’s, I have had poor results but always come away having had a really enjoyable experience. Through your race, I have come to realize that Wildwood has a very strong and established community, and by participating in the race, I feel as though I’ve become a small part of it. That is HUGE! It’s like Ironman. You do one, and you’re part of the “club.” I sense that this is what is happening with your race, and it will extend to AC. DelmoSports races are a unique experience.

Tri the Wildwoods is a wonderful race if you’re joining the tri world for the first time. Relatively easy and very safe course. DelMoSports is ran by a very professional and kind group of people who took all anxieties I had leading up to the race away. Would highly recommended this race to anyone thinking about doing a triathlon!

This was one of the most fun and well-organized races I have ever run. Registration and packet pickup were painless; the tech tee was high quality and well-designed (one I will actually wear over and over!); the course was challenging, beautiful ad fun, all at the same time; the finish line experience was special (please let the emcee know that his efforts to read every finisher's name as they crossed the line meant a lot); and the post-run nutrition was plentiful. A special shout-out to the course volunteers whose energy and encouragement helped tremendously. I don't have a bad thing to say about this race. Looking forward to next year already!

FUN!!! Challenging time as a 1st time triathlon competitor... by far the swim was the toughest part... I felt very safe after the jump lots of lifeguards and it was a straight shot to the end of swim leg... don't let your fears hold you back the other athletes were absolutely amazing! Have some fun step outside of your comfort zone!

There are only a few races where you get to jump off a boat to start your triathlon day. Among them are the legendary Escape From Alcatraz Triathlon and the Norseman in Norway. This past weekend 1208 athletes jumped from near Cape May, NJ to challenge themselves in the Escape the Cape Triathlon and we surely noticed.

Third year in a row doing this race, the Olympic distance. The best organized and run event. Steve is continuously tweaking and improving this race. The diversity of this race makes it amazing from the boat jump, to the flat and fast bike to the dune sucking run. It’s great. Oh, and Cape May is an amazing destination too. Race is flat. Venue is clean and accessible. Race Director is a blast. Volunteers are friendly. Neighborhoods are accommodating. The ferry jump is unforgettable.

I have done Tri AC Olympic Distance a couple times in recent years, and it is one of my favorites. DelMo knows how to put on an event. Swimming in the Back Bay is awesome, and well-supported by an armada of lifeguards on boards. Fast and flat bike and run courses. Great ocean views. Optional camping on Bader Field right at the start. What more can you ask for?

Okay, so let me get my list of complaints out of the way first: Sky too blue Ocean too calm Tide too low Not enough wind Not enough soft sand Donuts too delicious I thought I’d get this list to you early so you could get a jump on it for next year’s race. 🙂 Seriously, what a great day! Congrats on a job well done. And thank you for finding me in the crowd for the Cadence treat. I should tell you, however, that I wound up giving it away to someone else. The woman who won the aero helmet told me that the helmet was going into a raffle basket to raise money for breast cancer. I gave my Cadence gift to them for the basket. Definitely a better use of it! I wanted you to know that your generosity towards me will in turn benefit many others. Enjoy the rest of your summer with your beautiful family!

The music at the start / finish area at the convention center was a great way to get you pumped. The “Pacers” that ran the course to help runners keep their pace was a great idea, and also very friendly while carrying on conversations during the run. The 13.1 course was well marked and had plenty of water stations along the route. Hearing your name called at the finish line was cool. Thank you to the organizers and local PD who helped set the course and keep it closed for runners safety. See you next year.

The race organization, the live chats and the guide was the best prep ever. The volunteers were the most amazing, cheerful, kind and helpful ever. I struggled big time in the swim. I had a guard paddle next to me encouraging me the whole time. When I finally got out of the water I was greeted by a huge welcome from a volunteer who unzipped me and helped me pull my suit down to my waist. I never thanked her cause I could barely talk! The course was perfectly marked, The organization, the people, the tri community is amazing. I loved this race and would highly recommend it. So proud I finished.
