  • Comments: For my first olympic size tri... I thought it was great!!! Epcot was fun to run thru. Finish line could have been bigger with Disney characters greeting at the end for some novelty. It was barely noticable, big let down! Starting line was great with the music and the sunrise.. I would reccommend this race, very organized and allowed plenty of time for set-up of transitions. Smooth course.

  • Comments: Extremely dissapointed with this event. I've done many of WDW events, and this is the first time I see an event downgrade in quality. The swim start staging sucked, and if that wasn't enough, there was not even a finish line! Only the timing pad on the floor and a few scattered flags around. I really don't want to bash the event as I believe in constructive criticism, but this time the event producers failed in creating the "right" atmosphere before and after the race. Check-in, and check-in events were dull, the Expo left a lot to be desired (unlike the one two years ago when it was managed by SommerSports) As usual, volunteers saved the day. Those guys and gals always give their 150%. Many of them worked all the way from early Friday morning, all through the end of the event Sunday afternoon. They just needed better directions on what to do and how to do it, instead of general instructions. Other than that, really enjoy the race, and more importantly, the people I met the
