After Rev3

Agreed!  Everything was wonderful with the exception that you never knew where you had to go to get into transition (outside of race time).  They kept changing the "door"!!!  Very minor issue.  I actually thought it was kinda funny!

Ditto - excellent weekend and I absolutely loved the volunteers.  My favorite volunteers were the people cheering at the bike turnaround spot (not sure of the town name) and I loved the guy on the run who I think was a pastor and would yell "WELCOME TO THE NEIGHBORHOOD.

24 hours after finishing - i am going to have to make a hard decision on where I want my first full 140.6 race to be.  I was seriously considering IM Louisville or IM FL, but I really like the Rev3 people.  I went up to the announcer before I left and thanked him for his great enthusiasm and humor. 

I would say the only, and I mean ONLY minor thing I didn't like about the race yesterday was the post race food - what was that.  Fruit and cookie was good, but not sure what the entre was.

I thought Rev 3 did a great job with the bike change.  A lot of traffic that could not be avoided.  The swim muck was nothing they could control, and they dredged as much as they could.  I loved the guy yelling on the run course.  He was awesome.  Rev3 should pay him next year!  There did seem to be more people on the run course than last year.  

I also like the protest signs on the house.  They do not like Sandusky government.  

CTC and Rev3 had a great time waiting on the last finishers at midnight.  We are proud to have a great national race run by such a nice organization.

PS_ that food was the same as last year and was just as lousy then too!

 i told him i wish there was a tackling dummy out there and i would have hit from his enthusiasm.

i skipped the post race food and got a burger from Fridays. did make it down to the midnight finishers though.

from a spectator standpoint, my whole family to the person said they enjoyed the whole thing also. even my 2 and 4 year old...as best they can

Holy cow you are fast!

I had a blast- just wish my knee hadn't given out in the last 20miles of the bike.  It allows me to set and crush a great PR next year.  I was so impressed with the REV 3 people, everyone was amazing. 

Was a bit miffed that a cop stopped a large group of us on the bike to let traffic through....but this was not Rev3's fault.

I blame the post race food on Ceder Point, it was pretty icky.

Seriously????  You had to stop for traffic???  Was this on a city street or country?

Ugh. 

RR is up for those who want to read.  (I'd link it, but I'm clueless on how to do it.)

It sounds like the police were not informed that they needed to stop vehicle traffic for bikes. I hope someone has written Rev 3 and informed them so they can address this for next years race. They seem to be pretty receptive over at Rev 3-and I'm sure that's something they'd like to address. (hint, hint)

Thinking about REV3 2012....

Did you get free/discounted tickets for Cedar Point?

Overall, I thought the Rev3 folks did a great job. All of the volunteers were fantastic and the crowds (especially the folks in Milan) cheering us on the course were great! The weather and conditions were as good as they could have been. It did warm up a little more than expected on the run, but when have the forecasts ever been right? So, can't really complain about that...

I thought they did a good job handling and communicating the last minute bike course changes, and I didn't experience any of the traffic control issues that others had (but I have no doubt that they did). I doubt it was intentional, and I am just thankful that no one was hurt as a result.

Thanks to everyone that supported Team RWB. We had as much pride handing out the American flags at the finish as it seems folks had running down the chute with them! Thanks to the Rev3 organization for helping us spread the message.
