Race Reports for PHILADELPHIA TRIATHLON - Give it the Ol' Philly Tri 2005

[1]

Race rating (3)

Comments: As mentioned before, this race lacked any bells and whistles. The bag we received at check in was a paper sack and didn't have any give aways or samples. This race was on time, was well run, and had a decent amount of volunteers. The transition area was great and the course was fun and fast. I think that since it was the first year, they may have had issues getting more sponsors. Maybe next year will see some improvements. They got the important things right though. Do I really need another water bottle? Probably not. It was a lot of fun doing the race with Brad and friends. And it was great to have family there cheering us on. I would do this race again next year.

Comments: I enjoyed this race. at first I was disappointed b/c of the frustrations of bad directions and no free swag :( but the director was fantastic and dispite my flat I still rocked the course to the best of my ability. The crowd was so supportive and loud and I was so happy to have finished. My time sucked, but I still did my very best and I'm really glad to have finished. I feel great about this race :)

Comments: The actual race itself was good. I had no issues with the course and it was fun/fast. There was only post-race snacks and no real post-race event/food. There was no sponsor's goodies in the packet since there were really no sponsors. Body marking was on your fists and they did it during packet picket (i.e. the day before for us). I liked the self-selected wave start although it takes away from racing others in your AG since they may have started earlier/later. Wasn't an issue in this race since there was no AG body marking anyways.
