  • Comments: They dropped the ball in several areas for this race. They neglected to give we a swim cap when I checked in, they did a lousy job of keeping athletes informed on the status of the fog, they made no announcements as to when the awards ceremony would be, and they waited until over half the people had left to tell people is was OK to eat the food.

  • Comments: First year for the RD and race - lots to be learned for this guy - the poor course marking cost Moody 1st and me some time. I could have gone harder in all 3 disciplines - Mentally, a little on soft side. Not sure if I would do it again. Will be interested in seeing what official splits and time was, especially, since bike course mileage for not correct.

  • Comments: I know this was the first year for this race, but lack of volunteers, one restroom facility, short bike course, no markings/voluteers on bike course, trail run (5k ish?) was not publicized very well, limited (at best) markings/voluteers on run course made this a third tier event in my eyes and I won't be back. $65 entry for poorly run event-kind of salty. You won't find me in results b/c I asked to be removed from the event as to not be associated with it. I have a very bitter taste in my mouth after today's race. The positives I will take from today are my solid transitions and the fact that Bob and I would have went 2-3 had I stayed in results.
