Comments: The swim, bike, and run courses are all well marked. Though it would be nice to have the swim course buoys be a different color on the return. It was a bit hard to mark which buoy to target since the out and return buoys were pretty close together. The entire course is very flat. It is very well organized and they gave lots of updates as the weather continued to cause changes to the water temp and wetsuit rules. The race results were up on their website within a couple of hours. I would race this again and also race any event put on by these organizers.
Comments: It sure was humbling to say the least. I thought I could skate by on light training and muscle memory.... I couldn't have been more wrong. I will never do this again. If I'm going to do a race I'm putting the hours in and donig it right. It was ungodly painful and I'll be lucky if my IT bands recover in 3 days.
