  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

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

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

  • Comments: Not enough post race drinks. Water was hard to find. I ended up buying a powerade at the beach concession stand. Food was poor. They only had 2 shirt sizes that did not include any of the sizes our team needed. They also ran out of awards to give to us even though we were the fastest team we were the last to the podium. I did notice the lack of security at transition as well. Post race anyone could have gone bike "shopping" I have never seen such a lack of support in transition.

  • Comments: Several things disappointed me about this race: 1. No packets, we were just given our numbers and swim cap, no course maps, no wave start times, nothing. 2. T-shirts, when we checked in we were given the choice of large or extra large shirts, well our relay had requested a small, a medium and an XXL when we registered so no one in our relay got a shirt that fit. 3. No security at transition, while waiting for our swimmer, I saw several people just walk right through the transition area. 4. No designated relay rack, I had to stand next to my bike while waiting for our swimmer and really had to try to stay out of the way of other racers. This was also an issue when I returned on the bike because I was not in a hurry to leave on the run and again had to make sure to stay out of the way. 5. Not enough awards, our relay, which was the fastest of all the relays were the absolute last category called, when we got up there, they only had two 1st place awards left, so one of the three of us
