I help RD a growing grass roots triathlon. We value our athlete feedback and are seeking a solution to improve our swim exit. The layout of the lake we use currently only allows a boat ramp to be used for the swim exit.
We've found this to be slippery and also hard to clear off rocks. In the past we attempted to lay turf down over it but it always seems to come lose and rise to the top at some point.
RD's what have you found to be a good solution? Athlete what have you experienced at other races.
If we scrub the concrete down will that be a reasonable solution - it has grooves already in it - however is slimy.
Are we better off renting/constructing a ramp?
Do you prefer ramp vs rigging up stairs to the boat dock?
(Race size is 300 athletes - oly and sprint
Thanks In Advance!
