Subject: RE: Patriot Half Iron Triathlon : Official ThreadHey folks,
Thanks again to all of you who raced this year's Patriot. I've read through the race reports/reviews and wanted to touch on two things. It seems several people indicated the event didn't run on time (12 votes say it was on time and 7 say it wasn't ). I'm surprised to see this as the race started exactly at 7AM as scheduled. We approximated the awards ceremony starting at 1:30PM and doing giveaways at 2:30PM. We ended up doing awards at 1:35PM or 1:40PM and the giveaways were done promptly at 2:30PM. What am I missing?
As for the lack of pomp and circumstance at the finish... this will most definitely be addressed next year. We couldn't get enough extra power to the finish for the DJ to set-up there this year... this was not an issue in the past, but it was a new DJ this year. Lesson learned. We will rent a generator next year if necessary to provide more power.
Fyi, we actually debated having the band at the finish this year, but decided against it due to some logistical issues that doing so would create... maybe next we make that change. Edited by mawalt 2009-06-25 2:23 PM
