  • Comments: Overall, very pleased with my time. Definitely feel like I could have performed better in the swim and the bike under less windy conditions. Was given the wrong number, so my results are credited another "Patrick Allen" Apparently, 2 "Patrick Allens" were racing the Olympic distance and I was wearing the other guy's number. Have a call into the RD to get it straightened out, but have not heard back yet. Hopefully this will not be a huge problem to get resolved. Until its squared away, I won't know my AG standings, as the other guy was in a different AG.

  • Comments: I've been to 1 other race. It was smaller, but much better run. For the money, I would have expected a better post race event and a more timely start. Volunteers were good, the water safety patrol was excellent.

  • Comments: Given some comments from past years, I was worried about the organization of this race. But it really wasn't that bad. There seemed to be enough volenteers, although some things did seem to be set up fairly inefficently, especially registration, get there early and expect to wait. Course talk during the pasta dinner was difficult to understand. Bike course was adequately marked and there was alway someone in front of me to follow anyway. Although different color arrows marked the oly and him course and there were no instructions as to what the colors meant. This was not a problem during the race, as larger signage was up to give direction, buty did cause me some confussion when I tried driving the course the evening before. My one real complaint is that the start was 45 min later. It wasn't so much late as the start was scheduled to eaarly (before sunrise). THis meant setting up in the pitch dark, and no warmup.
