Comments: Being this as my first triathlon at this distance, my stress level was high off the roof trying to figure out the bike course. The course map they had (its was a PDF) was very hard to make out what road/street to turn on, especially in the city area. One of the reasons why I did even look at the run course, I was very stress out that I would get lost and being in the city area, I was concern about safety. I wish that they had given us turn by turn direction. They did however have several people and officer at all major intersection and turns. This is something the race director couldn't control but we did start about 30 late. I heard that park ranger/habor master wanted to make sure the swim was safe and ready to go. What ever that mean? I did noticed as I was walking to swim start that buoys weren't even set out. My bike computer and garmin as well as on FB showed that the course may have been on the short side. A Elite athlete also mention the swim felt about 100yds short. Does matter

Comments: The bike course was unsafe with pot holes and cattle guards uncovered. Many people crashed, lost water bottles and nutrition, and flatted.
