  • Comments: I wish they would make this race better, because it has a ton of potential. They need more volunteers and lifeguards. I think the food could be better and, for the sign up price, I think the tee shirts should be nicer. Also, they should get some more coverage on tv and the newspapers. I would love to be part of making this a better event. The organizers were REALLY nice though; there is just room for improvement.

  • Comments: Before my friend finished, I went up for some food. THERE WAS NONE! By far the absolute worst post race layout of all time. There were some cartons of gross orange drink, and some boxes behind the tent with bags of some kind of baked cheddar and sour cream chips, which I threw right back in. Nobody there to help at all. There was a line of well over 30 people for a Chipotle's burrito that you could order. I wasn't interested in waiting for that, especially with the rain starting to come down. Totally disgusted about that. Maybe there was more food there earlier, and the Sprint finishers had it all, but not having enough for all racers (if there was any) was terrible.

  • Comments: Started swim heats a bit late for some of them. Volunteers were great on the course, but I didn't feel like the city of Pittsburgh even knew about this race. Considering we put on a marathon with 10,000+, 700-800 people for a triathlon is a bit embarassing. This race could be promoted better and marketed better.
