Race Reports for Rev3 Cedar Point - Full Rev- 2017 CANCELLED

[1]

Race rating (3)

Comments: Rev3 is MERGING with Challenge. Rev3 and Challenge both have great family friendly events. The weekend was filled with races and activities. It is a smaller venue (under 300 for the full) so its a great race for first timers. The volunteers are great, its organized. The swag is not so great (but you are paying substantially less than IM). Disappointed a finisher shirt is not included - and they ran out and didn't have any at the finishers brunch (I never buy anything race related until AFTER I finish the race). Strange little "man purse" instead of a backpack for swag. Don't know what I'm going to do with it. The course is great - assuming the water is flat (it was a sheet of glass on Friday, had rip current advisory on Saturday and race day it was full-on waves). The bike is fairly flat and the run is completely flat. I won second in my age group, so all things consider, this was an awesome race for me.

Comments: I like the race overall. it was my first full distance and despite pain and suffering I got some valuable experience. The organizers and volunteers were helpful and friendly. Not so big crowd. especially on the second lap on the run. maybe if I could be faster I would see more spectators. After finish I have nothing to eat, volunteers offered only the water. Another disappointment was the visor. I personally do not like visors and never wear them. T-shirt would be a better finisher item for me. If I decide to go for full distance again, I would do REV3 again. It is very close to my home, about 2hrs to drive.
