  • Comments: I have basically decided to avoid any Richmond Multisport productions in the future. I hate RMS. Sorry. It's true. The race itself is usually well done. In fact, I thought the volunteers on this course were fantastic - thanks to the Powhatan police guys and the little guys in the woods pointing directions on the run - you guys were great. However, the pre-race and the post-race blow chunks. Here are my gripes: 1) It took over 24 hours to post results for a teeny-tiny race. 2) They never have enough beverages for the later finishers...I took the last diet Coke. Judi & Jen could only get water. 3) They are very much in love with themselves - the door prizes are based on tri-trivia about RMS or the Richmond Tri-Club or Tri-Girls training. They don't seem to be interested in racers that aren't members of these organizations. 4) The pre-race meeting was kind of silly and too much time was spent on inside jokes. 5) They didn't do a good job of responding to the calls from my

  • Comments: Can we take up a fund to get Richmond Multi Sports a megaphone that actually works? And some more porta-potties? There were only 3 for the whole race. Ran out of drinks pretty early. I think lots of spectators thought it was a free for all.

  • Comments: This race was prety good... definitely one I would do again. The events at the start of the swim lowered my confidence in the kayakers, but I didn't need them. The volunteers on the run course did a fantastic job directing traffic. I didn't eat the food after the race, so I don't know about that. My big complaint is the extremely limited number of port-a-potties! We needed far more than three! But if that's all I've got to complain about, how mad could it have been? :)

  • Comments: One of the best races I have done in a long time. It was extremely well marked, there were a ton of volunteers, the volunteers didn't leave their stations, I was cheered on a lot, there were a ton of drink stations on the run, there were support trucks driving along the course, there was tons of pizza and drinks and cookies afterwards, there was a massage therapist, they started on time! The very best thing was that I felt like I mattered just as much as the people in the front. That has been rare for me in the events I have done this year and I am glad to see these guys did it. It was really great.
