  • Comments: Outside of a selfish standpoint, the organizers need to consider changing the course, although it will be difficult. The bike and run exited the park in the same direction (left turn) so basically you had four lanes of triathlon traffic blocking off the peninsula. Any poor soul who actually lived out that way was essentially blocked in for two hours+. I would suggest they change the run to a right turn outside of the park and keep it all on the right side of Jetton Road. This at least would alleviate the traffic problem it caused somewhat. Not to mention there were not enough volunteers out there to man that busy intersection, a few riders and runners got lost coming back into the park because no one yelled which way to go as they did for me. Also a few sharp turns and curves weren't marked well enough in advance, although that is inaugural year type stuff I'm sure can be easily worked out. The transition area was spaced wonderfully and the beach was a perfect venue for entry exit. Those

  • Comments: I'm pleased with my performance given that I've only been back training a few weeks, and sporadically at that. Hopefully the motivation will stick with my for awhile. Love the new bike! I was pretty happy with my bike time, but want to take at least a minute off the swim and 3 minutes of the run.
