Comments: For an inaugural event with only 110 participants I was surprised at the quality of the presentation and organization. The staff members made everyone feel welcome and taken care of. They appeared to be geniously concerned and willing to cater to everyone's needs. At least that's how I felt and I am a "nobody" when compared to the rest of the field, mostly professionals and elites (going for a $50,000 prize purse). The swim was uneventful and very calmed. Transition was very well setup. The bike course was a little dissapointing as it was 6 boring laps of approx 13 miles each. The only complaint about the bike course was the availability of only ONE aid station at the end of each lap (there should've been at least another one at the other end). On top of that, the volunteers working that aid station were inexperienced or not properly trained on how to do their job. Some of the kids and adults, in their desire to help, were getting right in the middle of the road blocking the course
