  • Lots of volunteers to help?Yes
  • Plenty of drink stations?No

  • Overall course based on my ability: Just right

  • Comments: Not sure if I'll do this race again. I like the bike course a lot but having the run shortened due to an obnoxious homeowners association two weeks before the race is annoying. Hopefully that will get resolved by next year. The swim course was the most disgusting body of water I have ever swam in and would be enough to put me off doing it next year. Additionally, if you were in the transition/staging area, there was no way to hear the announcers at the end of the pier announcing the start of the swim - a few people missed their wave because they didn't know the race was even starting. Also, if I decide to do it next year, I'm definitely doing the Olympic just so I don't have to wait around afterwards for transition to open. I had to hang out for 2 HOURS waiting for it to open - I actually spent more time waiting around afterward than I did actually racing.

  • Comments: The bike course being long and the run course getting changed were annoying. I know a lot of people were frustrated with the bike being long and them spinning out their legs to early. Even worse for the olympic distance folks that had an extra 4.5-5 miles added.
