• Comments: Post-race activities at Voinovich Park, within 50 yards of the transition area. Lots of music. Great place to be on a sunny day. The race footprint was compact, which allowed spectators to be fairly close to athletes the whole time. The distance from the swim start, to the bike race viewing area, to the finish line, was about 2 blocks. Parking was limited as most of the public garages were closed on Sunday morning. However, on street parking was legal, and there were a number of empty lots nearby. If I did the race again -- and I might -- I'd stay at the Holiday Inn, the Crowne Plaza, or the Marriot, which were all within 5 blocks of the race area instead of the Hilton Garden Inn, which was about a mile away. Sure, you'd have to get to the Hilton for race check-in and the meetings, but on race morning you'd be right where you need to be. And the area around the Hilton seemed to get sketchy as day turned into night.
