  • Organised?No
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?No
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

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

  • Comments: Race didn't start on time. Bad omen. Course was long. Bike was very slow with all the turns. No carpet over dirt section was bad idea. Volunteers (Boy Scouts) were not paying attention to what was going on. No gatorade on course until 1/2 way point. Waited for 3 hours, no awards. So - it's a 3/10 on my scale.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: The Race Director is a sadist. The swim course was long, the bike course was evil, and the website was less than comprehensive in warning racers about what type of course this was... I would not have done this race if I would've guessed it'd end up being a 4 hour event. Even the fast guys added some 30-45 minutes to their times. This was my slowest olympic Tri ever, and primarily due to the course - it added almost an hour to my usual time range.
