The first buoy detached before I got there and we ended up chasing it quite a bit. Apparently the 2nd turn buoy also detached and the kayakers had no idea what to do. Basically the kayakers ended up all over the place and about 15 - 20 of us had to dodge them. I missed the second buoy which I still swear was tied to a kayaker and was moving. I think I did close to 700 yards instead of 400yds

This was really a great course! The sand and gravel at the turn around made me a bit nervous but otherwise good!
Transition 2

Comments:

T2 was a little slow because a guy lost his footing and crashed in front of me on the way to T2.
What would you do differently?:

Get past that guy before he fell!

Stupid buoys!

Event comments:

I really enjoyed this course. I would absolutely do it again. The organizers usually put on a fantastic race! Hopefully they can get their buoy situation figured out!
