Don't do it!!!!
He doesn't have enough volunteers or medical aid, if there any medical/first aid there at all.
Save the entry fee and maybe your life..
Problems I observed with the "My first tri"
- The water was ice fricken cold, and not warm like advertised.
- T1 is in a camp ground with one single portable toilet
- T1 to the street is rocky and through the centre of the campsite - it's insecure, not meant for road bikes, and if you don't mind riding on the grass past the pot smoking dirty biker wannabe's to avoid a flat, then great. Because that's what you're going to be doing.
- There is almost no signage at let you know where you're going.
- Crossing the highway to ride around lake is dangerous. I think the volunteer controlling wasn't even wearing a reflective vest.
- T2 is in a new sub-division construction site with another single portable toilet
(unsure if it was even unlocked
)
- T1 and T2 bike racks are two small hold all the bikes.
- T2 is dangerous with the homeowners coming and going as well as there is no spectator area, so people are milling all about.
And after all that, there was no t-shirt.. or official race garment, as promised.
That just a few things I can think of off the top of my head. .
On a positive note... the area is beautiful.. but you can experience that for free!!
Just my 2 cents.
