  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: For a first time event in a tough but excellent location it was very well run. I would do it again as a relay or maybe the aquabike next year. The vibe is good for the size race it is, but I don't think I would do it as my A race of the season. More road closures on the bike would make me feel safer...same with the 4 out and back on the run course with no shoulders and open roads. When there were cars coming both directions and runner on each side of the street it was a bit of a mess to get everyone going right direction safely. I did wonder what it would be like running at dark with no or little street lights. Being slow IM finisher I would be at the very back of the pack whole day and don't think I'd enjoy being out there all alone. Good: Very well organized Very thoughtful and top notch with details Amazing power point pre race meeting...very well done Adjusted and made things better as they realized they had an issue Very safety focused..had 3 dive teams, 3 dive platforms,
