Comments: This race has it's great points, and its not so great points. It's in a wonderful town with great camping, so we really enjoy just going there. The volunteers are fantastic. The townspeople seem to really enjoy having the race, and the volunteers are always very friendly and helpful.
The RD seems very disorganized. It's obviously a low-budget, or at least a low-maintenance race. Don't expect top of the line amenities. They tend to run out of food/drinks, don't always have the right medals or awards, and don't seem to worry too much if the posted distances are really correct. I've already complained about the bike distance for the past 2 years, but I've got some questions about the run now. They moved the run start closer to the lake and around a playground up to the road, and it IS longer than where that was last year, but nothing else was changed on the course to compensate for that. So I think we all ran a longer race, but I didn't have a Garmin on to prove that. There
Comments: I loved. Signing up for this race in January was what started this whole ride for me. I did it, I placed right up there pretty close to, with and even head some local tri/Iron Man athletes, so that made me feel great. I am definately hooked on this sport!!!!
