Comments: For my first race it was great. At the beginning, there was one guy with a portable megaphone which I could barely hear anything on. I know there was some general confusion because a girl next to me in the swim didn't know which buoy to swim to and was asking some other questions. I also was surprised at the placement of the lifeguard/boats/canoes in the water as they seemed really far off course....like if someone needed help I wasn't sure how quickly they could get there and I don't think if anyone needed to rest they could just grab on to something without swimming quite a distance to get there.
That being said, it was my first tri so I don't have a lot to compare it to and everything else was well organized and the volunteers were great. I well definitely be back to do it again next year and I have my next one in 3 weeks!
