• Comments: Maybe my feeling on the race are a bit negative because of my poor performance but I have a couple complaints. The bike course was damaged by hurricane dennis in 2005 and they can't help that, but they continue to advertise the bike as 18 miles. $85 for a mini sprint is out of line and they should disclose the bike distance correctly. The other issue is that the bike course is not really safe for the number of people racing. I don't think they can fix that even if the road gets extended. The run course was also long. That said, the post race party is great, plenty of beer and food, volunteers were awesome, they gave away a nice bike and they have nice prizes. Its a short drive and the locals are great, I wish they could find a way to improve the bike course.
