  • Comments: I have no major complaints about this race. Based on hearsay of a bit of disorganization in the past, I expected it to be less organized, running really behind and such. I found the day of to run smoothly. It is a laid back environment designed for newbie triathletes. The swim started a couple of minutes late, but considering the weather, not too bad. They still pulled off a good event despite the rain. There was water on the run in 2 locations (this was a complaint i had heard in the past) though b/c of the rain/cooler temps I didn't use it. Good course support with police, markers, cones/signage etc. I'd do this race again (Next Tri division next year!) and I'd recommend it to other newbies. My only complain is that the website isn't the most user friendly. It has most of the info one needs but it seems spread out and nowhere did it specify what time transition opened, though at packet pick up they were letting people know to be there at about 6:30.

  • Comments: I rate this a little down because I felt like there should have been more direction since we where all newbies. I watched last year and did research so I was ok, but there was only 1 email before hand with hotel stuff -- nothing for packet pick up. No course info printed, nothing to say where all the stickers and race bibs went. After I almost missed getting a shirt because nobody said there was one or directed me towards it. I just saw others with it so I figured it out. There was really good police on course but there could have been more volunteers at the transition, check-in, and finish.

  • Comments: I don't think I'll be back for this next year as I reallywas turned off by the wierd swim and long run to T1. The bike ride was really crowded but maybe won't be next year since I'd be starting sooner.
