  • Comments: - the set up may be explained in the 10 page participant book, but you'd think as confusing as this triathlon is that the volunteers would be a little more friendly. - i'm sure if i do it again, it will go more smoothly now that i know what to expect. but of the first time, it just seemed like a big hassle.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Had a blast at the race. Was cool to see my wife and little guy right on the corner so they got to see me coming in and out of T2 as well as coming into the finish. I would really recommend the race, but for logistics, I would strongly suggest staying on Eagle Ridge property as getting around the day of the race even after finishing can be a daunting task.

  • Comments: I have to give this race a below average rating for a couple of reasons. 1) It is a logistical mess and communication to the athletes and spectators, could have been better. Example: My wife went to T1 (which is where we dropped our car) and was going to watch me and friends swim, then head to T2 via either our car or the shuttle. It was not communicated very well that she would have to wait until the duathletes were on their bikes before she left. So, she didn't drive and opted for the shuttle. Which leads me to: 2) Volunteers need to be better trained, and more hospitable. Her shuttle got lost which resulted in her not being able to see any of the three of us (2 friends and me) transition at T2, run, or even finish. Her 35-40 minute ride turned into 1 hour 10 minutes. There was no communication from her driver on what was going on, and although many people on the bus were trying to help give directions, the driver wasn't listening. There were some people on the bus who's spouses
