  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: Didn't train enough and was cramping on the second 5k. Should have trained harder and should have run more but having a baby takes a lot of time. Still happy that I was able to participate and did have a fairly good race for the amount that I was able to train. Also playing a lot of tennis doesn't translate into good running/biking fitness.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Well-organized event overall. The volunteers were great! The timing/results were handled really well. Post-race food was great. The only small complaint I have is that the wave starts were very confusing. For each wave start, we could hear a very faint voice on a distant PA speaker announcing the start. They really should have had somebody standing at the start line handling things.

  • Comments: Very cool race...not so fun to do 5 loops of 5 miles on the bike, but it did make for good course knowledge after loop one! Awards were pretty cool, we got a bottle of wine and a tech shirt for the age group award, and another bottle, tech shirt and sunglasses for the overall award. Overall, super happy with how this race went. I wish I could say my heel was perfect and that it was none the worse for wear, but the truth is, I really wanted to see how I could do in a duathlon, so I am happy I raced it!
