Overall this entire event was good.
#1 BAD THING was there was no Chip START! The Triathlon was canceled 1 day before the event, so all the triathletes were forced to do the Duathlon so you can imagine how crowded it was at the start line. Many people did not cross the finish line for up to a minute, and that is not fair to the people.
The course in the woods was not properly marked, but that was ok. I had about four people ask me if they were going the right way, and they were, and two people asked me if they should turn left, and I said no, go straight. A couple of cones placed at 3 locations, and no one would have questioned it.
Excellent Finisher Awards and the t-shirts were also nice.
The course was a nice course, and I believe the timing was on the money also.
Had to go up a bridge, and then on the way back, runners had to go up the bridge again, as well as did all the bikers, but that is all part of the race.
