Pre-race routine:

Got there way to early sat around for around 2 hours before the race. I thought I was being smart by coming early and getting a close parking spot. Not so!! You get stuck waiting in the parking lot at the end of the event if you park up close.

Comments:

Water is murky. I fouind that by sighting on the sun on the way back in I maintanned a fairly decent line. Mirrored goggles seemed to help.
What would you do differently?:

Push harder. I feel like I left a lot in the tank after the swim. I always do this though:)

Event comments:

These folks do a great job organizing and setting up the race. For the life of me I can't figure out why it is so popular. The water is murky and hot, the roads are average and the run is certainly not scenic. Good race but between this race and Latta, I would take latta everytime.
