Rave Reviews on the Honolulu Triathlon

My first sprint triathalon was the Honolulu Triathalon. It was a great first race to enter. Calm water, flat bike course and scenic run. Well organized, especially enjoyed checking in bike the day before! Highly reccomend!

Thank you for contacting Triathanewbie.com and congratulations on competing in your first triathlon!!!

The Honolulu Triathlon sounds like a fantastic race. Thanks for writing the review. We don't imagine that any other first-time location is quite as inspiring and exciting and wish you all of the best as you continue in the sport.

Be well.
