• Comments: In all, for the first year for this race in LLV it was pretty good. I think they still have some logistical stuff to work out. Cars on the course in the park is a nightmare. Pre-Race registration lacked a bit. Clearwater was way more organized. Transition was a mess in T1 if you ask me. The goofy switch back was not necessary. Overall a fair course. You needed to be prepared and strong on this day. Show up with out the proper race prep and it would have been a really long day out there.

• Comments: Organization was good, but there multi-site ascpect kind of sucks. The Lowes is the guest hotel and is where they have the dinner, banquets and awards. The Ravella, where I stayed is where the swim start and T1 are. There is still about a mile between the two. So after body marking and setup I could go back to my room, which was nice. But T2 and the finish line are about 15miles away. As well, registration was at T2. So you had to get there to register and get back after the race. There were shuttles (too few) to get back and nothing to get there. This was the only negative part of the organization

• Comments: One hell of a course that could be changed dramatically by the weather conditions. The bike aid stations great, but I feel the run stations could have been better stocked. I know I was in the last wave, but that puts us in the group that would be in the harder conditions of the day. I was only offered an energy gel once during the run and only one of the aid stations had ice.

• Comments: Having raced Clearwater in 2008, I think WTC has done a great job moving this to the new venue. The new course is much more challenging and scenic and the Lake Las Vegas area and Loews host hotle where we stayed was very nice. The course and conditions really suit me as well and I would like to come back and do this again, I didn't feel that way aboput Clearwater.
