  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Great venue with incredible potential. If they have the race here next year it could be amazing. Marco and Nick did a great job putting on the race. What could be better.... Need to have a larger quantity of food, can't run out early. Close transition and then keep it closed. The race started late because the timing system was having issues when they tested it. If they had actually closed trans on time testing would have been done earlier and we would have started on time. Need to lay out the mount dismount lines in a larger area. I would rather have run my bike another 20 yards to be on a wider portion of road.

  • Comments: Overall a great race! Some issues with timing but that can happen. Swim course was good, bike was on good roads (not too much chipseal) with very little traffic, and the run was on roads with absolutely no traffic. Post race activities were OK but got started late due to the timing issues I believe.

  • Comments: I was very disappointed in the production of this race. I would do it again, but would use it strictly as a training day and would make sure and keep track of my own times. It was a mess from the beginning. There were people that got lost on the course and took wrong turns b/c there just weren't enough volunteers or markers showing where to go. I heard this was their 2nd year doing it and first at this venue. It can only get better. I really miss J & A and will make sure to praise them more when I do their races. I checked the race results the next day and they appear to be more correct. Added them to this race report.
