  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The race director is great& changed a lot this year to make it better. More buoys for sighting, more pre race info as to current & water temp. He's doing what he can, I think I just don't swim fast enough to outrun the current here. Or I am, but just barely. And the race is frustrating and long and mentally hard. Physcially ok since I've always finished and made the cut offs.

  • Comments: Good race. Even though I didn't do the sprint tri, it looked like it was very well supported and organized. Looked like a great sprint to do if you're just getting into the sport. Reminded me of Pinchot. Swim event was good too. I heard some complaints prior to the start about confusing bouys and limited number of boats or kayaks, but I didn't mind. The only thing I might suggest for next time is that the corner bouys be a different color from the intermediate ones.

  • Comments: This MIGHT be okay as a triathlon. I did the swim, so my issues are limited to the swim course. The swim leg of the tri was probably fine since they only used that first leg of the course alone the shore.

  • Comments: Need to specify the difference between rt 50 & business 50 in the directions. Actually put up the signs to parking that the directions say to follow. First race, so I don't know if this is usually a problem; but the buyoys for the next turn were too far away to see from water level after a turn. You didn't actualy have anything to USE for siting until you finished about half a leg. The leg along the shore was easier since you could use stuff on the beach for sighting. But the legs headed out into the water had nothing until you were close enough to see the buyoys. It's possible this is MY individual problem, and I'm just horrible at sighting. I probably am - but I feel like I got better at that (sighting) over the course of the race. The second circuit when I was better, I still had problems w/ sighting on the second & third legs of the triangle.

  • Comments: Liked the race a lot and will certainly plan to do it again next year. The choppy water was a bit tough to deal with but I'm a wus when it comes to the swim so thats just me.
