  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: For a first time race, I think it went off pretty well. There are a few logistical issues that they need to work out but I'm sure those will be taken care of by next year. Overall, it's a great course, great support from the community (lots of police out on the bike course and volunteers everywhere) and I'm looking forward to doing it again next year.

  • Overall course based on my ability: Too easy

  • Comments: Let me say, I loved this race. The conditions lent themselves to the fastest course I've ever done. I will also say this has the potential to be highly variable as the bottoms are usually pretty windy. Also, because it's St. Louis in late May, it could have been hotter. However, I would definitely come back next year. There were some challenges, but it was a first time event so this is to be expected. Packet pickup was very disorganized and this led to long lines at check-in (swag was awesome though). And there were apparently traffic challenges that led to a 20 minutes delay in start time. This is more on the participants than the event though. It was held in a park that's only accessible by one road. If you waited until late to try and come down, that's your own fault. Finally, I didn't get my pint glass because the line for that and the free glass of beer was ridiculously long. I decided that I didn't need a glass that bad and just grabbed a beer at my tri club's tent.
