Comments: Ok...the course was a good one.

Comments: Nice location. Weird triathlon distances(a strong cyclists dream). Race director & staff were great. I thought the results were lame! Three days to get overall results(with no T2 times?) is pathetic. I would suggest another timing company. Not sure this is a good $90.00 entry fee value.
