  • Comments: My overall evaluation of this event is that it was one of the best I've ever been to. There were several exceedingly good points to compliment, and a few bad ones that could easily be addressed in time for next year's race: GOOD * Very responsive decision making by the event management, evidenced by the change in the requirement to keep the relay teams at their bike racks, thus allowing the runners to get out of the transition area to do a proper warm up. * Big red helium balloons tethered above the corner buoys on the swim course made sighting a straight course as easy as can be. Why have I never seen such a simple solution to the biggest problem plaguing swim courses put into practice? * Lots of helpful volunteers. * Sacks of ice lying on the ground to be used as need for injuries and such. Why have I never seen this before? And believe me I've looked, as I've finished several triathlons with serious lower-leg muscle strains. * COLD BOTTLED WATER... in ice filled coolers.

  • Comments: Fun race, happy I did it even though I was sick. Last year this was the first race I ever trained for so it was neat to finally get to repeat a race. Really wish I could have been healthy for it, but oh well.
