nutrition

Event comments:

this race is at a good time of year and a terrific setting, seemed to be at capacity this year with many more entrants than previous year, this made for some long lines, and difficulty getting post race stuff unless you wanted to wait in line, cannot get a nicer swim or run than this if you like beaches, clean water, no cars and lots of people
