  • Comments: Cold and rainy which kept a lot of competitors from showing up and, I believe, kept many volunteers at home leaving Setup Events with a skeleton crew to staff both a sprint and a Half Ironman event simultaneously. As a result there were few volunteers available. Two transition zones by necessity for safety reasons (bike) and course reasons (run) but led to confusion during the dark early rainy hours when trying to set up. T2 was difficult to find. This is VERY UNUSUAL for Setup Events who normally are well organized and staffed at all their events so I am sure it was more circumstancial than poor planning. The swim, bike, and run courses were otherwise very flat and fast making for an enjoyable race despite the weather and logistical challenges.
