• Comments: Having been at the Boise Ironman 70.3 the previous weekend (admittedly more expensive)... this course paled by comparison in nearly every aspect. It was wet and a bit cold, but this is Washington so I am not sure that I can give the race director a full pardon. Parking was a problem right away, managing 4 races at once appeared to challenge their system, lots of twists and turns in and out of transitions, mile markers on bike and run courses absent, food and drink okay to below average, cheap T-shirt and no finishing medal. Pricing seemed to be the same as the Olympic events that I did last year, so where did the proceeds go? Good event to get out for experience early in the season, but did not have the feel of a great event... particularly for beginners. If I were doing this again, I would find a different venue.
