Comments: This was the first year for this race, so it didn't run as smoothly as some that have been going on for years. I expect next year will be better. I was really disappointed at the lack of support for the last runners. The weather played a big part as it was pretty miserable out at the finish line, but it seemed kind of anticlimactic.
The course was well marked and easy to follow. It was also well staffed with volunteers. They had medical staff on bikes all over the bike and run courses. There were a lot of kayaks in the water - overall the race felt well-organized.
The race supported research for osteoporosis, and they had a division for those with the disease. They also had free screenings at the finish.
It was a fun race and would be good for someone doing their first triathlon, but was challenging enough for anyone.
