Comments: Let's put the bike issues aside for now. Overall I think they did a great job with this event. This was much more than a race. It all started Thursday with the expo, packet pick-up, sponsored swim (Gatorade), and the welcome banquet with plenty of really good food and a big production set up on the beach. Friday was mellow with another swim, the athlete meeting, and bike & gear check-in. Saturday was the race and the awards banquet back on the beach...another great meal and a very nice way to end the weekend. This whole event took a huge amount of planning and coordination...so much beyond setting up a race course and aid stations. They had tons of volunteers everywhere and everything went very smooth as far as I could tell. Folks who have been to Kona siad this was basically an exact copy of how that is run.
Now the ride...Tour de Clearwater. I'm not saying this was entirely the fault of the RD but I sure hope they learned some lessons and plan to make some adjustments for
