  • Organised?
  • Events on time?

  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Post race activities? Average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: I like this venue and I hope it stays popular enough to keep the race going. It is the only local early season HIM and a great tuning race. And despite it being early May, somehow the water temperature stays above 60 degrees. There were a few issues. Bike security, lack of volunteers overall (especially at the run aid stations), and some timing issues. Obviously bike security is huge, and I am sure that will be addressed (well I hope I am sure). They also could be more strategic with the placement of the aid stations, and probably be able to put more manpower there.

  • Comments: Overall it OK. Nice venue and the lake is very clean. Check-in was fine. Volunteers were generally good but not always attentive at intersections on open roads. Post race food (advertised as great) was sparce. Biggest real concern was lack of transition area management/security. My only other triathlons were Philly and Bethany Beach, both of which were awesome so maybe I am grading them too harshly. However, the transition area issues should be fixed.
