Event comments:

If you are looking for your first triathlon or to PR a sprint. This is your race. I think there is a 35 foot elevation change across the entire course. Most of that is coming up out of the lake to the road. Most of the swim you can probably stand as this is a shallow lake. In addition to port-0-john there is an actual bathroom.
