  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This was a good race, but their description of the race was not accurate. They said flat and fast, which, maybe 51% of it was. Adding 2 miles onto the bike course a week before the race threw me for a loop, but it was not their fault, road construction. This was a very challenging course for me and I liked that aspect of it. This race did have its problems though. There was not a lot of parking for this race and you needed to arrive three hours prior to the race start to get a parking spot. Also, the parking for the spectators was very poor. I like the fact they had a shuttle, but it was packed and the overflow parking filled up quickly. There was nothing for the handicapped spectators, like my father. It would have been nice if they had benches or something. Another thing that bothered me, some of the volunteers were just plain rude. I would like to participate in this race next year, but I think that if I do, I'll have to leave the family at home.
