Like Carmen, I did the 10K. I do many triathlons and races a year. My Garmin said 6.45 miles. I have called and e-mailed the race management, and the timers, and no one will acknowledge this issue. It was originally advertised as a US Track Certified course – no way. I can understand a few 100ths off due to going wide on the turns, etc, but I even loaded mine to Google Earth and it is clean, straight, and long. AGREE with everyone! That track was horrible for us. It is actually made of a combination of recycled carpet padding, sand, and dirt….squishy and uneven.

Found this blog by accident . Great site! I will be at the Subaru Tri in October (3rd time)

I ran the 10k and I completely agree with you about the track. It was uneven, and I felt like I was going to twist my ankle at any moment.

It was beyond hot! I hope they consider starting earlier next year.

My garmin also disagreed with the course. When I finished, my watch said 6.60 miles as opposed to the 6.20. Grrr…
