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

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

  • Comments: I didn't do as well as I wanted, but that's OK. I finished way down near the bottom of my age group, but that does not define me. At least I finished. I also had fun and I burned more than 1700 calories. I will do the Solana Beach Sprint in July and I'm sure I will do better at that race.

  • Comments: I would rate it higher but for the lack of informed volunteers on the race course. I feel like I got cheated out of part of my race. For a large race I expected more. According to the Race referee I talked to I was far from the only one who got messed up by the run course.

  • Comments: Going into this race, I was worried about what kind of Quality this race would be. They were slow to post lots of information that I felt should have been posted more than 3 days ahead of time (like the fact you had to check your bike the night before, along with wave start times etc.) However I was very impressed with evertyhing when it came to check in and race day. Packet pick-up was easy, great expo, bike check went smooth, and it was really neat to run down the same finish chute as the pros did. I forgot to mention above all the volunteers. At every road or turn or anything along the bike and run course, there were lots of volunteers. They were very encouraging and kept vehicles/people off the course as much as possible. At the top of the hill, they handed us water or gatorade and along the run did the same. Overall I was really impressed with how the race was put on. Overall average time for the sprint distance was 1:54:41. That was encouraging to me, to see that it
