  • Comments: This was my first podium finish in tri!!! I ranked 2nd in AG, but got the 1st place trophy since the top finisher won 2nd overall in Master's. The swim was poorly managed: not enough rescue crew made a touch swim just scary for some people! Also, buoys were set too far out, so I believe we swam more than 600 yards. Not enough buoys, nobody could see where they were supposed to go due to lack of markers and chop. The rest was awesome. GREAT after party w/beer truck!

  • Comments: I was very surprised at the limited number of jet skis, kayaks, etc on the swim. I only saw two before we began the swim and never saw one once I was in the water. Since I left before the post race activities began I didn't know that I finished 3rd in my age group until the results were posted on-line Monday morning. I have emailed the RD to see if they will mail whatever prize they gave for AG awards. My wife has decided we are coming back in October for the Red Cross Tri and 5K. I will have revenge on this ocean swim and she will get her offical time on the run!
