  • Comments: There's not much you can do for a swim event other than pre and post race. I patch and duck-pendant were a bit odd for swag. Music was good, plenty of volunteers on the water. A bit crowded to filter into the water at race time and the starter should have been on the water to start not yell and blow a horn to start from shore. Since a lot of people actually use this as a warmup for Ironman, they could provide a corral for bikes and/or swim stuff.
