  • Comments: need someone to direct bikers on that first turn onto country road... a pack of us missed the turn - all leaders in sprint division. we strayed 3 miles off course (1.5 out and then back)... that meant everyone passed us... ALso, get the girl on the sprint run aide station to stand in front of her table and tell athletes they can turn around.

  • Comments: Really bummed about this race. Not only was my performance not as well I hoped, but race organization was not very good. One turn on the bike course wasn't marked except for a cone in the middle of the road. Next the race was very late and not well organized. On the run the Sprint turn around had a small sign off in the side of the road and behind the support car. The girl at the aid station wouldn't speak up and didn't tell anyone it was the sprint turn around. Lucky for me, someone was complaining about it (he had ran an extra 1/2 mile) so I turned around. Jeff (one of my friends) actually ended up running the Olympic! run in his very first triathlon because of the poor marking. They also didn't give out awards for AGs except overall male/female, masters and athena/clyds (which where also weird as clyd was 180 pounds and more. That makes me within 5 pounds of being a clyd..right). Oh well, I'm just happy Ryan and Jeff are now triathletes!
