Race Reports for Spring Bassman Half Distance Triathlon 2012

[1]

Comments: Overall to those maybe reading this who are contemplating this race, I would reccomend it and may do it again next year. It is a great course for a first HIM and I wish I would have done this one first before Montauk Mightyman last year. To be a little critical, there needed to be more bathrooms near the pavillion, and some of the volunteers (usually the younger ones who were alone) could have been a little more supportive in as far as encouragement. But all in all things went well and I realize its hard for a race to go perfectly. I heard of one story that the police told an aquabiker to go the wrong way. They got the bike mounting signs up late and the race started about 10 min late,,,,,but no biggie as long as you were not that aquabiker, that was a travesty

Comments: Post race food was good. Nice salad, pulled chicken, pulled pork, rice. They even had breakfast food for the early birds. I heard a few complaints about the food but I'm not sure where else you'll get this quality of food at a small event. If only they had beer. Hint, hint..... I'm not a huge fan of such a flat course....however, the bike course is really nice. Through the pine barrens with very little traffic and well shaded. The run course is through the camp grounds with about 25% on trails. Well shaded and a really nice run. The lake swim was fantastic. Pretty clear water and a perfect temperature with a full suit. Races and awards were on time. Very well run event.

Comments: Decent race...bike ride had lots of traffic on road, and road was not terribly smooth. Food was getting put away when I finished...would be better if they kept it out for everyone. Running course is kind of a maze with two loops.
