  • Organised?No
  • Events on time?Yes

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

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: It's always a little disorganized. They do day of registration and that throws things off for the waves. People who walked up were basically told to "seed themselves" in one of the waves. They went from having 4 heats to 2 waves and that made everything a little confused. Getting the results together at the end seems to be very problematic.

  • Comments: They weren't too well organized. Started out with 4 waves then decided to do 2 waves. No biggie...except the guy on the dock figured the race # was our seed for the wave. Race #'s were assigned by when we signed up to do the race. So then they had to differentiate wave 1 from wave 2...We had cap colors based on gender...so the answer?? Put a big blob dark circle on the cap for wave 2 people...Not well thought out. Noone had a megaphone...Tri club had a group out doing a preride there too cause this is the site of a tri in 2 weeks...Cool, I got to scope out the race venue in advance and am going to ride it next week :)
