  • Comments: Considered going for 2 stars, but will give 3. Pro's: Great location - beautiful course, nice venue for the fam to do some non-race related things and lots of great restaurants in town - even some very good vegan places! Volunteers and police on bike course - very well staffed! Registration/pick-up - easy and no stress Cons: Communication - no athlete guide, although website did have all the info.d Was supposedly going to be an "aquavelo finish coordinator" but I found no such person and took my chip to timing tent after asking a volunteer where I should go. Race start - no microphone/bullhorn - race director counted us down from shore, but could barely hear him. I almost didn't realize we were about to start Finish - I happened to be there as first triathlete was finishing. No one else really was. Someone did eventually get him a medal, and gave me one, too. Post race - website said awards would be at 12. I went back to hotel since I was freezing and came back at 10:30.

  • Comments: Great race, very pleased with how it went. To me it was a great community race that was well run. My only improvements would be more bike racks. I really enjoyed the day.

  • Comments: Organizers need to put more effort into creating a better transition area. Transition area was like a bomb hit it as there wasn't enough bike racks. People were placing their gear anywhere they could find a place.

  • Comments: - Race instructions were not clear and a map of the transition area in the race packet would have been nice. - Officials and police officers on bike route were all great. - Only refreshment after race was more tap water. Come on guys - we just burned a ton of energy and you offer us water? How about a gatorade and a piece of fruit. Even better, I would like to see Basil T's sponsor some beer tasting next year ;-) Online results came out pretty late and were a mess with way too many errors and were not corrected until three days after the race. Initially, I had a T2 split of 7.5 sec but I was only the 7th fastest ;-) After all it was a great race and I had a blast. Next year I'm sure it will be even better.
