Race Reports for Turtle Crawl Olympic Triathlon 2012

Race rating (3)

Comments: Beautiful, interesting venue. Race organization has a few kinks to work out. Website listed my age group as 50-54, results posted as 46-50. WTH? Packet pickup the night before closed at 6pm, too early. Then packet pickup was slow on race day, so they delayed the start 15 minutes. Lame. No electrolyte drink on the run. Good music and food, but no beer at finish. Awards ceremony was painfully slow and too long (2+ hours). Results didn't give a T2 split. Results didn't list age of competitors.

Comments: I gave this race an average review because of: Lack of swim support and lack of buoys. Lot of people didn't follow the swim course and didn't hit the buoys right which means they shorted their swims but you can't blame them when there is no buoys around to go around. Long transition which counted against your swim time instead of your T1 time. Need more aid stations on the run, need to have cold water and gatorade/powerade it was hot as hell. Block of the run paths in the parking lots don't have spectators running into the runners. When printing race results put persons Age on the results so we don't have to wait two hours to hear race results.
