• 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.
