Odinson Posted January 25, 2015 Posted January 25, 2015 Unacceptable. The organisers should hang their heads in shame.

rudi-h Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 i didn't think it was badly marked... but then again I was far away from the front so many folk around me to follow. course was nice but tough, and the run definitely not for the faint hearted! some bottlenecks on the bike but I think the athletes are more to blame for this than the organizers. seen some dudes clip out and walk for a rock the size of a tennisball out there, so I guess unless you make it all 7m wide gravel roads there will always be bottlenecks on the singletrack... None the less, big up to the organizers for an awesome event!! I really don't know why an event of this class only sells 1/10th of the entries compared to 70.3... maybe marketing?
Eldron Posted January 26, 2015 Posted January 26, 2015 Never underestimate the blindness of people in the pink mist zone - I've missed more than a few markers because my eyeballs were full of blood! Re::Cycling 1
