  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This was the first year so I have to give them slack, but they had not enough port-o-potties, started late, cups on course were plastic so if you pinched they broke (plus not green), no food at end only water. It is a nice course but tough.

  • Comments: Here is the course map from my Garmin: http://www.beginnertriathlete.com/discussion/training/map.asp?route... Areas for improvement: They need to work out the timing for the shuttle buses. Also, the water stops need to be managed better. For a race of this size, there should either be more tables or tables on both sides of the road. And they need women's sizing t-shirts! I say this for almost every race, though. Good points: Nice finisher medals, decent quality shirts, gear check-in was nice. Fair amount of spectators given the weather. I would do the half marathon again.

  • Comments: I would have given this race a five except for the poor transportation from the parking sites. The rest of it was top-notch.

  • Comments: First year race...this one has a long way to go. They botched mine and my wife's entry...they had us in the marathon and they spelled our last names wrong. They also screwed up our corperate team and did not bother entering half of the entrants...actually, I seriously think they did not care (I don't mind saying this because I am fairly certain the person I was dealing with was NOT a volunteer). Really upsetting given the fact that I helped the race director with some of the course logistics. NOT NEARLY ENOUGH WATER ON THE COURSE. I dont think they expected this many people. Not enough bathrooms. The volunteers were great.

  • Comments: I would race it again. I skipped everything post race including picking up my shirt/goodie bag I had sent to the finish. I was mad at myself. My 'injury' is from running two days back to back. I always ran every other day without problems then decided to run 2. MY own fault I tried to push it but I really did feel awesome. Now it is beautiful outside and I feel like I wasted the day. Oh well.
