Vehicles on bike route and run being 1/2 mile shorter than advertised.

Event comments:

This is a wlell organized race. To make it better they need to do 3 things: (a) close off traffic on bike course, (b) change advertisements on race distances to match up with course, ruins a 5k and bike is about 13.9 miles, and (3) find out a way to clear some of the vegetation from lake in area of swim.
