Event comments:

Was a beautiful area for a race. Had lots of volunteers to help with direction, water, etc. Amazingly, they had no chip timing so had people taking the times. I haven't ever been in a triathlon without chip timing.
Total race time was right around 3 hours, perhaps slightly less. All in all I didn't suck, am not that tired, and wasn't last so I am happy.
