  • Organised?No
  • Events on time?No

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Too hard

  • Comments: There were some great things and some not so great things about this race. The not-so-great: I didn't feel like they did a good job at telling us about the course (the difference between Oly and HIM swims, and that the 40k bike didn't have to do an out-and-back section), the website wasn't terribly informative, race ran late, some roads were REALLY bad. The great: small race, nice swim, beautiful venue, challenging course, lots of post-race food, lots of volunteers and plenty of drink stations, AG awards 5 deep (which is how I got hardware despite not even being top 50% of my AG), and a VERY VERY spectator-friendly course. Especially having done it once and now knowing the course, I'd do it again.

  • Post race activities? Average
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Good time overall. Excellent parking in the garage - right above transition, but then it was a 1/4 mile or so walk back from the finish. Didn't like the road they put us on for the start and finish of the bike. I thought it was too rough and narrow since bikes were going in both directions there.

  • Comments: I am not a speed demon and probably never will be, but I felt great on this race and am very happy with a 21 minute improvement over last year on the same course!
