Hey Dev, Thanks for the kind words. I do like your suggest of a tag line, "most iconic race in the world". We are actually still making decisions as it relates to brand. The goal for these first few months is to help athletes understand that a race with two transitions can work, be athlete friendly and also ensure that friends and family are part of the race experience. In the coming weeks and months we will unveil more pages on the website that are dedicated to those aspects and more such as accommodations, attractions etc..
I should also mention one aspect in the bike course design has been rail lines. We had looked at another bike course, suggested by a local pro, but there is a major rail line which cuts through the course. If you look at the area this is an issue which has to factor in course design. Unfortunately it looks like we are just not able to get specific train schedules to be sure a freight train does not come through the course on race day.
Having said that I would be happy to hear from anyone who has suggestions and ideas to make this a better race. It is another reason that we announced this 17 months out. We have a great course and have all aspects of the logistics nailed down. Our series has grown because we are focused on the customer, so Ideas that will help make this an even better experience are welcome.
