  • Comments: the race had a nice feel to it. the football team in their jerseys as volunteers were easy to identify. i would have liked to be informed about the dirt/gravel road. i liked the athena/clydsdale groups. i made all of my mat crossings so my times were accurate for each of the 5 areas unlike my first tri.

  • Comments: The race organization was pretty good. They had a problem with the timers, which I initiall thought was just a computer glitch. Now I think back to the people tracking the timing, I think it was more a human issue then the computers. For instance when I finished my swim, he calculated my swim time at 34 min and didn't even recognize that it was off. Fortuneately Sarah was there and asked him what was up, so he "corrected" it. Still not sure if it is right. Sarah said my swim time was just over 10 min, offical time was 11:16, so I don't know who to trust there. There were also issues with me running through transition and them reading my number wrong. They would ask my number and I would yell "28", to which I would get a reply as "36?", "18?". Good thing Sarah was there to make sure they were recording right. If you look in the results, some people don't have run and bike splits because of this. They also didn't have actual racks for the bike. Just some beat up old metal racks
