  • Comments: Good race overall. Awards ceremony took a long time to get to because they wanted to wait for the last athletes to finish. This accounted to waiting around for almost 4 hours after finishing and 90% of award winners didn't stick around for the ceremony.

  • Comments: Some of the signage was very confusing. For example, when I was running out of the pool area they didn't have a clear path out and I started going down the path that was leading back into the pool. I turned around and bumped into two other ladies who did the same thing! We all turned around and headed back, the right way.

  • Comments: I don't think this race was well organized. First the swim started at least 10 minutes late, the bull horn wouldn't work for them. Then getting on to the course for the bike and run was insane. Using the same street for run out and in and bike out and in was just the most confusing thing ever especially because they didn't even line the whole things with cones. Then they only really had about one volunteer at each water station for the run. There were not many spectators at all. The only nice part was that when you got on the course you didn't have to worry about so many people being in your way because of the wave starts. For being in its 20 something year, it was not a well off race at all and still seemed to have many glitches in organization.
