  • Comments: This race needs some major work on traffic issues. It seems that with the number of years they've been holding this they should be able to find a workable solution. Also, the post-race food could've been better....green bananas, plain bagels with nothing to put on them, and nutri-grain bars. It was a really great race for a first one though...there were lots of other newbies and the atmosphere was awesome! Everyone was just out having fun and supporting each other...very cool! They really cater well to those new to the sport.

They also mentioned that every year since they moved the event, the changes they make to combat previous years' troubles seem to create new problems. I don't know if I am going to do this race next year - it took me 2 hours to get out of there! They stopped the shuttle buses way too early.

They didn't complain about that, but they said that many racers were running to get to the event and were all in a panic that they were going to miss their wave. The race coordinators should consider changing the bike course so they can keep the lanes open for traffic. It was a nightmare. Despite the parking and traffic woes,
