  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Overall a good race, with a few things that could change. First, the winding part through the windmill museum is a little annoying and the turns are too tight. Second, the "disposable" timing chips with the plastic bands are annoying. I developed a blister from the thing cutting in to my ankle and I saw a couple other people who were bleeding from them. Also, the race started a little late (as well as the awards), and I felt like the people trying to organize the start didn't know what was going on. Finally, the police boat that was patrolling was a little annoying because I could taste the fumes in the water after they went by. Despite my few complaints, it was an overall good race and was run fairly well. The volunteers did a good job of directing on the run course, and the police did a good job of directing traffic, but it would have been nice of them to give some indication of direction for the biking too.
