  • Comments: Hard to be critical since it was my first tri... but comparing to the many 5K's I've done: They needed more help checking people in. 15 minutes before the transition area closing down (and a half hour until the first wave) there was still a line of 30+ people waiting to get checked in, marked up, and get their chips (plus set up transition and everything). Good race for a first time though... everyone was supportive and friendly.

  • Comments: Course was incredibly confusing around the trasition area. The way the course was laid out had people that were coming out of run out crossing the path of the people finishing. After coming out of the water there was approximately a quarter mile run through the park and parking lot to the transition area. There weren't any mats or carpet laid down for this run, so the stones and pebles in the parking lot felt great on your feet. I would have rather done multiple laps around a smaller bike course than ride over the rough road the the course went on for a short section. I had to slow down in fear or cracking a rim. The generator ran out of gas twice. Once before the race and once during. When the generator shut down, the blower for the finish line turned off and the finish line arch started to deflate while people were coming in to finish their race. They talk about having 42 years of experience putting events on, but this race didn't prove it. Food at the end was very limited
