  • Comments: The race was much more organized with a much improved bike route from last year. If we can just get a year without rain I could give this race an honest assessment.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: So my feelings toward this race are sour for a few reasons. First there was the unnecessary delay at the start. Then there was an overly long and not very clear explanation of the course as we were all freezing in our bathing suits in the rain. Third, the run course, while fun, had no mile markers and none of the volunteers knew what mile they were standing at. This is sort of absurd if you are at all planning to build to a strong finish. Fourth, there is no way that this was a full 5k. Fifth, the post-race food was not exactly what most post-race athletes want to eat: coffee, bacon and eggs. I think I am not alone in wishing that there were just some basics like bagels, cookies and gatorade. Finally, the awards were delayed more than an hour. While it is noble to wish to let the last athlete finish before handing out awards, it's not really a wise use of time, especially on a cold and rainy day. I have to say, I was expecting alot more with an $85 entry fee...
