  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: This is a small race in a small venue, with tons of HILLS. Transition is set up at the bottom of a hill, so everyhting begins with an uphill. KLM needs to work on getting signage and volunteers on the bike and run courses. When I spoke with the Race Director, he said that they never put volunteers on the bike course because "according to USAT rules, participants are required to know the course." Yeah we know that. But that doesn't mean you aren't allowed to have volunteers or signage. Jeesh. There were no signs or volunteers at forks in the road on the run, which was bad. The finish line was nonexistant and disappointing. Not sure if I'll do this race again.

  • Comments: I love KLM and the events they put on. The RD is a fantastic guy and I got encouragement from him everytime I passed him. However, you should never never never only have 4 johns for 300+ people. Need more volunteers on the bike course. I will update the official rankings once they are posted. Not bad for my first tri!
