Race Reports for Delavan Lake Triathlon - CANCELED 2007

[1]

Race rating (2)

Comments: The event was poorly managed. The race started late because they were not set up on time. Weather was threatening at first and we missed a good window to start. Not to mention the body cooled down waiting. The bike course was marked okay for sprint, but many oly riders made wrong turns and put on additional mileage. The run was awful with people running all different ways on the loop. However, it was my first tri and I actually placed in my age group. That really pumped me up, even though I only got a hat, and got me super excited about this whole triathlon thing.

Comments: Good race although I heard that the Olympic distance had more trouble this year with the signage and people getting lost. Sprint distance didn't have that trouble until the run which was not marked properly on one turn sending some people one way and others a different way (b/c of 1 mi loop I don't think it made much difference in the overall distance)...since it was my first triathlon, I have to rate it a "5" (best) because I don't know any better, but it seemed perfect for my first triathlon. Exceeded my expectations. Very happy with the effort today and with the race itself.

Comments: Frank Dobbs lived up to his reputation. The race started 20 minutes late. He didn't have enough volunteers to guide traffic. The course distances were off. The transition area was unsecure. Its too bad, b/c this could be a good venue. The bike course is very fun.
