Loved the course, loved the location.....great for racers that have young families.
Only a couple small glitches,
1. No briefing, it was 30 seconds and go.
2. 3 hr racers off the course at their form up point to allow safe passage for the 6 hr racers.
3. Maybe some commentary or music at transition to create an atmosphere.
4. No prizes for category place getters
Congratulations on a great event, I'll be back.
TJ.
Glad you enjoyed the race and it's always good to get feedback, good or bad.
To give a bit of a shout out to our race director Kat, it was her first go at organising such an event and I think she did a stellar job. I'm sure she will take on board the comment about the briefing, but I think she was trying to get us 3hr guys away bang on time, so perhaps didn't have as much time as she had hoped for the briefing. The Greek God of timing "Mathos" would have cast down a plague of locusts had the new timing system had to deal with a delay (joking Paul).
We normally do have the best commentator out there in Mr Chris Quain. He has the music and the verbals going for the whole 6 hours, but unfortunatley couldn't make it on Sunday. He has done our MC work for last years VES round and the 3hr Interwinter this year, so was greatly missed this year.
Prizes for Place getters....agreed. It would be nice, but not essential to a good day's racing.
Glad to hear you'll be back and I know all your comments will be taken on board. Thanks for sharing.
