Comments: Good course for up to Olympic Distance, too many out and back for the 1/2 ironman.
Also a very good course for specktakers to watch. The bridge allows people to watch the swimmers in the canel, and the bike and run course go through center town, so lots of opportunity to watch your friends race.
Water temperature was realitively warm, some went without wetsuits. I used mine more to helop with bouyancy so that currents in the canel would affect me less.
