  • Comments: I wish there had been a rest station or aid station on the bike loop this year. I forgot my water bottle (my own fault) but the salty water from the pool made my mouth feel gross and a water station would have been useful. Other than that, though, I love this course and I had a great time again this year. Woo Hoo!

  • Comments: I haven't been to a ton of races (2), so it's hard to really compare. I thought before race day that it was SUPER disorganized. I mean, their website says it's the 7th annual Qualicum Beach Triathlon...it was actually the 11th annual. Seriously, people, update that sucker! There was also no FAQ on the website, and the links were broken. Maybe they don't really know how to maintain it, or maybe they don't really care to maintain it all that much. Either way though, before race day I had no idea what was going on. Suffice to say, I was surprised at the organization when I arrived! They needed more volunteers though, and all the volunteers should wear the same t-shirt color. It was confusing. Also, better signage along the routes. Compared to UBC, this was more difficult to do just because the "help" wasn't there, but it wasn't a bad race to attend. I would recommend this race to other people who want to do a sprint tri, but like me, can't swim the full sprint-length swim yet :) Lots of kids
