• Overall course based on my ability: Just right


• Comments: Race director is unorganized and insufficient. The venue is great and the racers are great. Unfortunately the race director isn't. They had hired a race director company to come do timing and manage registration and other logistics but they didn't do their part (Riversportsoutfitters). The course wasn't trimmed creating a potentially dangerous situation in places. Transition was in long grass. During the Friday pre-ride there were missing arrows so the course wasn't entirely clear despite their assurance it would be. The advertised distances are not right. The actual bike course wasn't described in the pre-race materials until I made a point to point this out. Then the map given wasn't the one that was ultimately marked off and raced. No medical personnel were on site during the race and no bicycle mechanical support was present.
