• Comments: This race did not go as well as it should have this year because of several factors -- new Half Ironman that added complexity to the race; rain and wind the night before; shortage of volunteers. As a result, many of the people went way too far on the bike because there were no signs/volunteers, so the results are less than accurate. Kind of takes the fun out of a race. The transition/finish area layout should have included a better post-race gathering area with food/water, and there should have been more aid stations with larger cups. I have high hopes that this race will improve in all of these areas next year to fix what happened this year. In many other areas, this race was great-- shirts were great, awards were awesome, and of course, the venue rocks. I'm also partial to this race, of course, so I'm not going to give it up just yet.

• Comments: Something needs to be done to ensure that there an adequate number of volunteers. Other race organizers are able to do it successfully. This is critical to running a safe and effective race.
