Race rating (3)

Comments: They did improve on the organization compared to the first race in the series. The buoys were out on schedule and had no issues with the swim course. That being said, when we were about to start, the race director did not know when some of the groups were supposed to start and he was trying to communicate with his people unsuccessfully. The signaling on the bike getting into T2 was just awful. The food and drinks afterwards were good, and the T-shirt they give you was better than most.

Comments: The organization of the race was pretty bad. When I got to the beach at 6:30 (race started at 7) there was no buoys in place. The race director was running from one place to the other trying to start the Olympic race (btw, the distances of the Olympic are not even close to accurate), then the duathlon and then the sprint. They had the issue with one of the buoys drifting off to sea. Besides that, there were ony a couple of kayaks in the course. It's not an issue for me since I am a swimmer and I feel secure in the water, but if it was my first tri and was worried about the swim, it would be a problem. There were several people at the end too complaining about clear of signs on the bike course. Hope they improve for the next race.
