I had brought my own, but it was a 1000 yards away in my pickup, it would have been nice to have something as soon as we crossed the finish line.

Sure enough, no sign, no email, no nothing. As I mentioned, the made a significant change in the bike course, too late for anyone to compensate for it in training.
