• Comments: The race director changed this year, so I'm not sure how that changed things. They only mark our number on our right leg. I think it'd be helpful to have the other leg marked with our age. Packet pick up went smooth, the transition area had no assigned racks and I thought last year they were. The TA wasn't marked...no signs for bike in/bike out or run in/run out and I think that is helpful to new people because I knew 3 people for sure who were racing for the first time. There also wasn't a sign for the dismount line and my mom said a lot of people were riding into the TA. Last year after the race we all got a lunch and that wasn't the case this year. They had cut up bananas and oranges. For a $30 entry fee, though, you can't expect too much. I placed 2nd in my age group and was supposed to receive a $15 gift certificate to Dick's, but only got one for $10. So, I'm not sure if that was an error or if that was the case for all the 2nd place finishers. It's a little annoying
