Swim
Comments: As you exit the water, you run directly up the beach toward land about 100 yards toward a wooden ramp. Once up the ramp, you run across a small concrete path toward the parking lot where the transition area is located. The path was kept clear at all times and the spectators were lined up at the top cheering all of the athletes. Transition 1
Comments: The transition area was a typical transition area and led west directly out of the parking lot and onto A1A where the bikers turned North. Bike
Transition 2
Comments: Dismount was quick as the cyclists turned into the parking lot and entered the transition area. Exit back out to the east toward the shore and back down the ramp to the beach for the run. Run
Post race
Warm down: There was fruit, bagels, water, gatorade and massage tables. Also a coffee area catered by Cristopher Bean Coffee Company and a Bike display by Plan B Cycling along with a free massage area. Beach access showers were available and the finishing times were posted quickly. Emcee was timely with information and awards were promptly given out as soon as the last runner came in (about 8:30am). Event comments: This race was organized well and I did not see any issues, at all. The staff was polite, the volunteers were prepared to help and the spectators were very supportive. This race can only get better as more athletes participate. I am hoping to race in July at Series #2 but if I cannot race, I will volunteer because it is a lot of fun to be a part of.

I did not race due to illness but I am logging this race report to let others know how the race was organized and run since it is the first race run by Tigershark events in this area.
Parking at the main area (Rendon Park) was limited due to the location of the transition area. Additional parking was available directly across the street in a gated lot for a $5 fee. Additional parking also available within a block each way. If the event grows, parking may be an issue. Athlete check-in was smooth and the transition area was well marked. The event started on time at precisely 7:00am.
