  • Comments: i'll give it one more year to figure out how to organize the swim better since i am local. it was better than last year, but we shouldn't have been standing in line that long. should have had someone calling numbers to get ready to get in the pool. gonig to train for spring marathon and train the hell out of the bike this winter. the bike is my friend.

  • Comments: The race had a seeded pool start, with the slowest folks going first. A lot of these folks were swimming 20 minute 500s, which contributed to a very long wait. It was nice to get to hang with a bunch of guys and chat, pre-race, but standing around waiting was tough. Overall, a good event with a lot of great folks.

  • Comments: They have to figure out a better way to run the swim. I was one of the last in the water (you were seeded in reverse order of expected swim time) almost 2 hrs after the race start. They should go with a 400 M swim with a serpentine swim rather than the way they did it. Bike and run were OK - but it would have been nice to have some police presence at the 2 turns where there was a lot of traffic.
