Race Reports for Lake Geneva Triathlon - Half Extreme 2010

[1]

Race rating (4)

Comments: This was actually a very good race. I heard a lot of bad oomments about it but I liked the venue, lots of hotels close by for family memsbers to go back to while they wait for the race to end. A little depressing to get done with your race and see all the people with the shorter races all done and gone. I also liked how the transition area was right next to the swim start. It gives you plenty of time to set your bike up and then wait for them to call your race start. The bike couse had very good people giving directions at all the intersections and lots of rests stops. Run also had good drink stops. I will probably do it again in 2011 or 2012.

Comments: The organization of this race was (notoriously) terrible. Volunteers at packet pickup were clueless, hectic transitions/bike mount and dismount areas, lack of direction or good marking on the bike course, mile markers not matching up on the half ironman, etc. The best part about the race was the participants and the fans, as well as the fact that I was able to hit my goal.

Comments: chaotic, poor course w/ limited volunteers and post-race activities. 4 different tri lengths at the same time, too many open-to-traffic-roads and disorganized transition area force me to not return
