Comments: The course is pretty flat and if you are in pretty good shape you are going to do well on this course. The steps on the run course are not ideal but frankly I didn't think it was a huge deal. Perhaps if you are really flying on the course they could pose a problem but for us slow people it wasn't something that really botherd me all that much. The Olympic distance is still kicking my arse but with no swim portion it was hard to truely compare this effort against my first Olympic Distance at Naylors Beach. Race organization was pretty good and there seemed to be enough volunteers. The only thing that I would critque would be the late decsion to cancel the swim. Based on the water levels and the forecasted water levels there was no chance that the swim was going to happen and that was known days before the race. It would have taken an act of god to drop the river level at least 2 feet and with the rain we were getting that week. I suspect that the the late decsion was done to keep
