I felt good in the swim.
What would you do differently?:

Nothing. I passed a couple people and I got passed by a couple people, so I think I was spot on with the time I quoted.

First transition ever, but it was easy given that it was a pool swim to a run.

Event comments:

I would not do this race again. Two days before the race (Friday night for a Sunday morning race) an email went out that the bike course was being CUT from the race because the race organizers did not get the necessary permits. My strongest event is the cycling. I would have never signed up for this race if it was a biathlon from the start.

Post-race food was not what was promised. The website stated turkey subs, etc. There was only oranges, bananas, Clif bars and fruit snacks.

No refund was issued or offered. No reply email was even received to my inquiry. Very poorly organized and supported.
