Comments: No race numbers. That was terrific. One less thing to worry about in T2, and really unnecessary when everyone is properly body marked.
Not much support on the course. There were volunteers stationed at the turn around on the bike, but no where else on the bike. One volunteer at the 1.5 mile point on the run, and he was overwhelmed. I could tell he felt really bad that he didn't have anything to give us BOPers something to drink. But the ice was good.
Just bananas and bagels after the race. That is fine by me. I usually eat a banana after the race, but I didn't want to bother with any other food. There were probably drinks, but I didn't look for them.
No finishers medals, so that will make the haters happy. And I'm fine with them or without them.
Overall, it was a nice race. Everyone was friendly. But it was definitely a no frills race.
