I swam the full mile, which is terrible for me as a mile time! I found out later that the second half of my age group swam around 3/4 of a mile and missed the cf that happened at the third to last buoy and all the chop!

I got stuck in a cluster of two waves of men swimming perpendicularly to the swim route and that caused me to actually STOP. I couldn't get through them! I thought I swam well but was so disappointed at my time.

106 in my age group?? Thats absurd.

absolutely ecstatic!! I ran probably 11.5 miles out of 13!! And I loved all the spectators on the boardwalk.

Event comments:

I think part of the bike course was really dangerous. It was too narrow in the bike lane to pass safely and there was a LOT of leapfrogging. I kept having people pass me then take a drink. I wasn't pleased with that.

And the swim!! My age group was in two waves. The second wave swam a shorter distance!! That part was absurd. My swim time would have been ten min faster for sure, and my ranking would be better.

But, overall, I atually liked it. Atlantic City is sad though as a city. Not impressed.

Performance:
Course: on the old tarmac, like a snake for almost 1 mile back, and forth, and back, and forth. So annoying. Then finally to the boardwalk. then off, then on. Then on the sand, then around some weird building, then down a pier. But I did like it.
