  • Comments: STRENGTHS 1. good accurate timing for each stage and transition 2. well organized 3. nice afterrace party/awards ceremony at godfathers pizza IMPROVE 1. have an athena/clydsdate group for women over 165 lbs and men over 200 lbs and let them start the swim first followed by the fastest swimmers.or have the 20 slowest swimmers start first. this gives some of the slower athletes a chance to finish in the middle of the pack instead of at the end. its frustrating to be one of the last finishers to come in and find that the event has all but closed shop and everyone is already at godfathers for the awards ceremony. 2. get sponsor/grant/funds to have bottles of water and gatorade at the end for the finishers 3. get vendor(s) with triathlon equipment

  • Comments: This race was shorter than a normal sprint distance yet the entry fee was $55. Thinking the fee was high I was expecting a nice shirt but it was a normal cotton which was disappointing. The entry fee did include daycare (which I didn't need) and a free pizza buffet which was where the awards ceremony was held. I would rather have a cheaper fee and not have to pay for entrants daycare or pizza buffet. The snake swim was also a big dissatisfier.
