  • Comments: This race had some pretty significant organizational flaws. Seriously lacking in number of people supporting bike aid stations. Few, if any, had more than one person working. Made it difficult to get any more than one item as a hand up. On the run course, a number of aid stations had run out of things during half distance race or early in full distance race. Biggest issue was that T2 was located approx. 30 mi from race start. It had been briefed that there would be a shuttle to run athletes/bikes bake to start. However, shuttle stopped running after half distance race, and full distance athletes were forced to try to find someone with family and extra room in their car to get ride back, or pay for a taxi. They did at least have a couple of cold pizzas and some donuts to eat while you were figuring out how to get back to start.

  • Comments: I will always do this race every year like we have. Its a great January race and although weather could have been warmer (like it was weeks heading up to it) It still ended as a good day. HITS always has put on a great race and has for the last 4 years here in Naples.

  • Comments: BIG fan of HITS races and will be back for another in Naples next year. They have gotten better from 2012 the first season first race in Naples. Bigger every year and more to the race, the crew is great. Just mad I am not gonna make Ocala with them this year. I recommend giving HITS a try and they have all distances over the weekend for racing
