Subject: RE: Oliver Half Ironman 2012Not physically exerting yourself?! Aren't you one of the hardest working officials out there? Ok, maybe it was cool in the morning - I did have to dig out a hoodie and sweats to keep warm before I started. As for the event, I thought everything was pretty well layed out. No shortage of port-a-potties on the course, the aid stations were well staffed and stocked, great traffic control. The drafting rules being enforced by triBC (12m) were a bit hard to deal with, and I did get passed by a few groups of 4 or 5 riders working together while I was trying to stick to them, which was a bummer, but that seems common to most races I've been in so far (not many, admittedly). Overall it was a good weekend, and my whole family had a good time. Lakeside resort was a great place to stay, within a REALLY short walk to every place of importance to the event. And the community seemed really behind the event. It was great to have people coming out of there houses to cheer everyone on all day. |
