  • Organised?
  • Events on time?

  • Lots of volunteers to help?
  • Plenty of drink stations?

  • Post race activities?
  • Overall course based on my ability:

  • Comments: I think part of the bike course was really dangerous. It was too narrow in the bike lane to pass safely and there was a LOT of leapfrogging. I kept having people pass me then take a drink. I wasn't pleased with that. And the swim!! My age group was in two waves. The second wave swam a shorter distance!! That part was absurd. My swim time would have been ten min faster for sure, and my ranking would be better. But, overall, I atually liked it. Atlantic City is sad though as a city. Not impressed.

  • Comments: A fast race course. Overall a good race and I did very well. Race was organized well but there are a couple things that can be improved upon as there are in any race and this team will work to get them fixed. Not sure what to take on my time as it is much faster than I expected but it was a very fast course.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Swim course was good - some chop, but not too bad. Really liked the rolling start! Good job on covering rough spots on very beginning of bike course where we were on airstrip before got to actual road. Lot of people had flats (not me). Needed a rest stop sooner than mile 42 on bike course. Run on boardwalk is a little frustrating in the crowded areas (most of course). Had to dodge tourists and push carts. Little confusing with turns and how far to go in each direction - glad I had my Garmin. I think there were enough aid stations on run, but since I had infinit, I only needed water/ice, so it was enough for me.
