Race Reports for Lake Geneva Triathlon - Half Extreme 2011

Race rating (2)

Comments: Packet pick-up was a mess with long lines. Transition area was stung out over a really long distance and you had to cross a foot bridge at least twice. Announcements were unclear or non-existant. Sprint and long course of swim crossed paths. No posting of waves and so there was confusion taking off. Races started late. There were no, and I really mean no, spectators for support. No after race activities. Not even a radio playing. Food offerings were bad news. Now for the good. Lake Geneva is a gem of a lake to swim in. Water temp was perfect for wetsuit/nonwetsuit. Crystal clear. Bike course was a decent wisconsin course. Rolling hills. Road conditions were acceptable to good. Only a couple tricky intersections with high auto-traffic. Run course was very challenging but doable. About 1.5 mile on each loop had heavy auto traffic. Otherwise, quiet streets.

Comments: The course itself was good. The water/heed was often warm. Traffic was bad and cars would come within inches of us. Started late. Director was rude when I asked when the next pre-race meeting was. Organization stunk. Had to run over small bridges that slowed people down because you had to do it single file. Sweatshirt wasn't a tri sweatshirt vs. a lake geneva sports promotion. One warm bottle of water after the whole thing with no way to get more?
