  • Comments: this is a nice little local sprint. they fixed the issues with no one manning the intersections on the bike, so it was much safer. they also have great breakfast burritos and it's pretty reasonably priced. they still need to work on getting the distances and chips accurate, fixing some potholes in the road, and better security in transition.

  • Comments: Really enjoyed the race, rough bike and dodgy results notwithstanding. For anyone interested in the results check them out here. http://www.jsmultisport.com/race_html/BTT2010/PREOVERALLCOMBINED.ht... If you are interested in why I think the results are way off, just check the top finishers. I do know from talking to my GC Tri friends that the race while small, was deep with some solid talent. If my math is right the winner would have had to average 3:59 to do a 3.5 mile race in 13:59. That's after averaging 27.13 on the bike for 15 miles. 3 sub 4 From seeing his name and results in a few races I know the winner is an excellent triathlete and very fast racer, and this is not to in ANY WAY take away from his accomplishment in winning. I'm merely using his splits as an EXAMPLE ONLY. I'm not sure how this could happen, but it almost seems like the distances in the race were not calculated properly, or folks missed a timing mat somewhere along the course. Overall it is a

  • Comments: Loved the course and the scenery and plan on doing this race next year if I can. Chris is very safety aware and puts on a good show and really tries to take care of the racers.

  • Comments: Major issue with this race: Very little to none transition area security. With a great number of bikes and people in transition area, there was _no staff_, not a single person, within any distance of the transition exits when I was taking the bike back. Spectators walked into the transition en masse. Anyone could have easily wheeled out _any_ bike -- yikes!!!! Not major but v.v. irritating: Currently (~ 36 hours post race) -- there are no women's age group results -- under the "age group" title, there are all men's age groups, but no women's age groups, there are only the overall winners. Nice boardwalk run and nice ocean swim, which is too bad -- the disregard for female racers and for bike security is appalling.
