  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Bad
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Maps were incorrect, not quite enough volunteers at major turns, post race was pretty bad. Spectators taking food, had to ask for water instead of low-cal juice blends and tang (ew). Race announcer was struggling with names and loads of feedback on the mike. They were trying to do awards over the music playing. Definitely could use some improvement.

  • Comments: I have only a few minor points to add about the race: -This year the bike course was shorteneed to only 8.5 miles, which I was sad about because the bike leg is my best leg (as proven by my disproportionate overall ranks by sport ;) -The race t-shirts were pretty ugly as race t-shirts go. I have done lots of running races, and have lots of ugly t-shirts, but this one was worse than any of the ugly ones I have! -I will definitely participate again - it was well organized and fun!

  • Comments: Very good race with good food at the end. They did lots of smart things like having self-seeded waves and not writing your number on the swim cap (the number will come off onto other things...like your sink). The run from the water was long, so they even put an extra timing mat in so you could take into account that run. I would have liked it if this was the standard sprint distance, so I could compare my time to other races. Other than that, it was good.

  • Comments: Thought it was a well run event. Lots of space in the transition areas, a lot of volunteers. Should have realized the running hill.

  • Comments: A great first triathlon. Probably not challenging enough for someone much more experience than myself. I loved it, though!
