Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
Plenty of drink stations?

Post race activities? Below average
Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: The race itself was great. I feel comfortable in that if I run into problems I can get help. The race organization this year was pretty off, though. Very late results, an awards table that opened 90 minutes late, not much communication during this. Not the ideal race day execution by the RD.

Comments: I thought the finish could've been more organized. The volunteers were handing out water at the finish, but had no directions for food or results. For some reason the results were on one end of the hotel while the food and what not, was on the other end. The race started 22mins late. The line for the chips turned into a long line of taking forever. Otherwise, the race was definitely fun and enjoyable.

Comments: Great race. They need to move up the award presentation. It drags out too long.

Comments: Okay my comments: 1. Measure the damn course. 2. Everything was late...it started late and awards started late. I should not have to spend 10 hours to do a simple 3 mile freaking swim race! 3. Good BBQ during the awards though. 4. Come up with a better way to get swimmers into the water at the start. They are talking about doing a 10k next year...out and back from the finish beach. That will be nice because the entry will be better...but I hope they GPS it from the beach...because I am really convinced their idea of "3 miles" is long. I guess this swim race was really just about battling some demons for me. I have a serious fear of swimming in the ocean because of ocean life. I'm not convinced I helped myself at all, but at least I tried.
