  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Post race activities? Below average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Overall, I improved by over 1 minute, actually about 2 min, when considering my slower transition times, this is due mainly to my biking. Running was the same, and swimming slower???? Perhaps, having no wetsuit??? When I consider how hard I went on each event, right at LT, I don't think that I could have gone any faster without blowing up. I have lots more work to do this summer. This was a smaller race, perhaps since the Tempe Int'l is next week, the field is split up. I notice that there are about 300 each at the events, they should merge and make it a grand event. They also could have used more water stations for the run to keep everyone hydrated.

  • Comments: Red Rock puts on a good event. As far as the events I have done with them, this one rates as average. The other events I have done have been much better

  • Comments: I love Red Rock events. No complaints here on the start delay - these things happen and typically Red Rock is right on schedule, so no harm done. I prefer a bike course with less turn-arounds, but everyone has to deal with them the same, so again, no complaints here.

  • Comments: Red Rock is definitely my favorite race company next to Four Peaks. The timing thing was odd as they're usually on time. Great atmosphere. Organized.
