Here's the question for IMTX folks. Who botched the distances? Weren't there turn-around cones on the bike and run?
While we're at it, did we ever determine why the age group bike course was not marshaled?
For an event labeled as the "North American Championship" these are issues I would not expect.
Dunno about how the turnarounds were marked- I'm usually willing to chalk up a half-mile of error to me not seeing where to hit the transition button on my watch.
Word on the street is that course marshals were moving back and forth either too fast or in too close proximity to racers for the local cops, and so the marshal vehicles were pulled off the roads.
I'm not fast enough to hang with anybody (as my 6:14 bike leg will attest to), but there were packs of 30-40 riders out there either coordinating their rides or enjoying the fact that they were all coincidentally the same speed, depending on who you ask.
