Comments: These people really need to get started earlier in the day during this time of year. I think they waited until all of the kids were off of the course before starting the du, then they started the tri. They could have a few people running the show to get things going sooner. Firecracker tri in Tucson has a kids tri, and gets done way sooner than this race did. These folks could learn a thing or two from them. I had to have my bike racked by 6:30am, and didn't even start until 9:30am. 3 hours of wasted time.
Transition area could have been laid out better. Swimmers and bikers were sharing the same entry/exit, and there were a few collisions.
This race did have timing mats, but no mat out on the bike course to make sure everyone did 3 laps. They said they used to mark people on the bike, but they didn't this time. Zac saw quite a few people cheat laps by only doing 1 or 2 laps. So the race times are going to be jacked up. Cheaters like that really get me steamed. Do 3 laps
