Event comments:

The race directors may have had the best of intentions but they were less than orgainzed. The course was fine but the pre and post race food and activities were minimal. Who wants to eat cold pizza after an effort like a triathlon? Coffee or hot choc. would have been great!

Then again, God Bless anyone who will take on the challenge and responsibility of producing a tri!
