  • Comments: This was only my 3rd Tri and I feel like my training is paying off as I am continuing to improve my times and place higher. I finished 50th out of 259 or top 19% and 5th out of 24 in my age group. My final race of this season is a sprint in LBI and I am looking forward to the challenge of putting up my best times yet. As fars as this race was concerned the event was very unorganized. The race website posted incorrect directions to the site and there were extremely long registration lines which caused a late start. 2 different start times were posted as well as 2 different run distances and the run was supposed to go over the closed route 9 bridge but did not. Also, the bike segment was 1.5 miles short. I tried to e-mail CityTri pre and post race with questions regarding the race but have had no response. It was fun to get a race in prior to the start of my vacation but I would not do this race again.

  • Comments: Very disorganized from the start. Very nice people running the event, but I think they need more organization or more help, or both. I wasn't getting a medal for anything but my wife was in the DU. So we waited around for the medal ceremony. Race director tried to end the medals before handing anything out for the DU. Then he seemed flustered by the whole process even though there was a whole table of medals right behind him, waiting to be handed out. Amusing and annoying. But hey, I'm just glad the event was there at all. I mean, they had a course, a clock, lifeguards, police for the bike route, and signs for the run route. If they just worked on getting the event off on time and getting the medal ceremony put together, they'd have themselves a good event. I'd do it again next year if they have it the same weekend in the same location.
