  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This is my hometown race (well, as close as we have a tri--about 20 miles away near Cottage Grove) and the organizers did a great job with it as always. They were hampered this year by a serious lack of volunteers, plus very few athletes. Only seven volunteers for the whole race. I think/hope this is due to Eugene hosting the World Track and Field Championships this week. I think a lot of prospective participants and volunteers were either spectating or volunteering at the meet, locals out of town due to the crowds, or others avoiding Eugene due to the extreme scarcity and jacked-up prices of accommodation in our area right now. I really hope this race continues in the future--in my opinion, it's up there with Wanaka for the title of "Most Beautiful Triathlon in the World" (plus it is way closer than NZ!). It is not dramatic like NZ but it is beautiful and peaceful and shows the best of my home. I would hate to see it go under.
