  • Organised?Yes
  • Events on time?Yes

  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?Yes

  • Post race activities? Good
  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: This is not the best race that I've ever done but it was right up there. The things that I think that they dropped the ball on were (1) they should have provided course maps, (2) they should have specified that women would get women's size shirts and not unisex shirts, (3) pre race communication should have been better for out of towners (directions to packet pickup) and changes should have been in bold or something, (4) should have handed out gels (especially since the website mentioned it, yet I was never offered one). The volunteers were great and the course was surprisingly good.
