Joshua Miller's Staging Area

1. The race expo was well spaced, there was a large Vacation Race Prop 13.1, for self photography this year, looked great.
2. we had my wife drop us off race day morning so we didn’t need the shuttle bus. For the Raffle ticket, it wasn’t clear what to do with the ticket and where to put the ticket. Also idk what I would have done with a prize if I won anyway, would I carry it?
3. 1st aid station was out of snacks when I arrived at 36 mins into race, didn’t need them but if it says they are there, they should be there.
4. this year the official photos didn’t have a sign saying they were coming up and the photographers weren’t where the race guide said they would be, one was at the bridge, which is great but unexpected.
5. Race photos came out very dark under the bridge and running away from bridge. The finishing photo angle was the side instead of head on like last year and that was a huge miss. The photos are my biggest gripe this year. The ones that came out bright look great but half of them are very very dark.
6.i finished under 3 hours, the after race area was very bland if music was played it was definitely gone when I arrived.
7. The after race snack box didn’t have chocolate milk this year and could really use some attention. Throw a gel or sticker or some pamphlets in there.
8. The finish line announcer was great he was the hype.
9.race shirts were printed with wrong date on them.
10. Some ideas, each aid station should have a local folk musician playing music for ambience.
Put hand washing stations outside the portapotty zone at start line
