Pre-race routine:

It's a chore to get there, you have to take a shuttle to transition. Got there late and met up with some friends, rushed to set up.
Event warmup:

Only downside of this race is that you cannot really warm up. Got on the ferry and sat around.

Always struggle with the ocean swim. This may have been a little better but not much. The current kept pushing everyone to the right and they were yelling at everyone to stay left.

Pretty good run considering the beach section which really slows you down.

Event comments:

This is a great revenue and a well run race. Logistics were more challenging this year as they doubled the number of racers. There was some waiting around but it's amazing they get that many people to jump off a boat safely. Waited around for AG awards and did not realize I won Grand Masters division - had never heard of it actually.
