  • Comments: I really wonder why SJT uses this run course; it's longer than a 5K and only has 2 water stations. OYM races here and offers 3 water stations - just one aid station that is passed 3 times - plus water just out of T2. And it's a 5K. Still it's a fun race, just wish for a cooler day and no accidents!

  • Comments: This is a great race with excellent support, and it's very beginner-friendly. They handled the emergency rescue very well, and the delayed start was very understandable under the circumstances. I didn't stick around post-race this year, but last year it was a lot of fun and a great atmosphere. That said, there were a few problems, notably on the bike course. There was one major intersection where there was no traffic control so bikers had to stop and wait at the lights. This kind of sucks, but whatever. The problem was that in one direction they didn't have any volunteers right at the intersection telling bikers to wait at red lights. With all of the cones around it looked like we were on a protected course -- and I saw a few bikers run the red light -- but that wasn't the case. It was potentially a very dangerous situation and they really needed a volunteer or two managing that light. I have mixed feelings on the water station on the run. It was almost two miles into the course,

  • Comments: I don't know if I would do this race again. They were very unorganized. The race is expensive and yet rather than giving us swim caps they had everyone scrambling at the last minute to make sure that all participants had bright colored swim caps which had not been specified in the race instructions. I brought my silver cap and was told that I couldn't wear it. Luckily they were able to give me a yellow cap, which I could have brought for myself had I known ahead of time. The aid station was in the totally wrong place and given the heat there really should have been two. The late start could not be avoided given the medical emergency (and huge props to the medical team/lifeguards for their handling of that) but the race itself was very disorganized.
