With no one knowing what was going on out on the course. I heard many people not complete all of the loops on the Bike. One person I talked with said that he only did two loops. His time shows that he did three. Not sure what happened here, but he was surprised when he placed.

Hi.

Not sure if you are still racing, but sad to see you had such a bad time at the first year of Tri-Carson.

If you check out the one review from 2011, you can see we improved a lot of the issues you found on the race.  We (LB Tri Club) were not involved in 2010 but are looking to continue to improve the race year to year and take all input seriously.  Thanks for your post and I hope you'll try the race again this year.  Last year was an awesome success. 

All the best.
