But, the transition area with racks dropping our bikes was a joke.
The roadway coming back into transition was SO bad with huge pot holes and speed bumps I just about went over the front of my bike.
The RD to not have warming tents, ...
For the race to have tell folks the real correct water temperature.
For the RD to not get the final race times correct which mess up rankings.
Are these not his issues?
SO lets go through this "issues. The RD did not drop the racks(I'm guessing here) someone came in and knocked them over. Now they could have been really poorly planned/set up, but did just one or two racks fall, or all of them?
The RD has no control over the roadway when it concerns speed bumps or pot holes. If you almost crashed on one of those, it is entirely your fault. Just like every other ride you do outside, you watch the road and ride what is in front of you.
I have never in my life done a race with warming tents, if you have count yourself lucky I guess. But to think they should be required, should I expect air conditioned transition rooms at all the hotter than hell races I have hated to do?
Just about every RD I have ever heard espouse the water temp before a race has gotten it wrong in the hotter than it is direction. When I get in before the race I know what the temp is, butt cold is butt cold whether it is 53/56/61. I don't treat any of those temps differently, and you all should not either..
And yes, there should be correct times, usually the fault of the timing company. Not sure what HITS uses for timing, they are so cheap they may have tried to do it themselves, In which case it would be their fault.
Anymore things you like me to clear up for you Dave?? (-;
