Event comments:

The coordinators fell short in their preparations for beginner triathletes. We were waiting for the planned briefing but no one knew when or where it was. Several people said, "I'm not the race coordinator so I don't know!" No one would take a moment to just explain the basics to ensure we understood the fundamentals. Though it all worked out, it would have been nice to receive the reassurance, as expected. The slower racers were not given the same respect as the faster athletes. Their times were not posted with the other athletes. All levels of athletes want to see their results posted in comparison to the group. I was disappointed in the treatment of some. Overall Great race. Lots of fun and a tremendous effort by all who made the race a success. Thanks for a Great Saturday Race.
