Event comments:

This is a very well run race considering the logistics of not being able to have a central transition area. The volunteers and support people were great! That being said, Augusta is not what I expected. It was a bit run down, a lot of run down houses and empty buildings. All things considered, I thought it was organized well. I would definitely recommend Augusta, especially for someone who is not a great swimmer.
