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

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

  • Comments: Bigger race than I thought. I guess the number of people had doubled since last year. I originally thought I went pretty slow, but after reviewing the results, it wasn't so bad. We didn't stay for the post-race activities because we had places to go. I gave it an overall "too hard" for me because of the hills. Those kicked my butt.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: There should have been water stations near the tops of the hills - some of the Clydes and Athenas were really having a hard time with the run, and it was hot by then. It was unclear where the post-race stuff was, and there wasn't much fluid available when I finally found the tent. Judging from my experience, I would not return to this race. However, the area is under construction and should be finished by next year. It might be a lot easier to organize when the construction is over. Also, see my run notes regarding the unsuitability of this race as a beginner course.

  • Comments: I won't do this race again simply because of the hills on the run. It was completely above and beyond what ANYONE would expect in a tri.
