Comments: Overall it was good. It's a low-key race. There were no emails leading up to the race which was kinda off and made me question if I actually registered. There isn't a lot of info leading up to the start. No national anthem or announcements. Before the race we were standing around and I quietly heard someone say "ready" "set" "GO" which kinda threw me off.

Comments: This was my first race 13 years ago and I have done it every year. The race used to sell out early with 400 spots. Today there were less than 200. The race is fun and the post race is great. Its held at the Flora Bama, one of the most fun beach bars in the civilized world. They have good intentions, but they have really let the race slip. They changed the distance of the swim and alot of people show up expecting a 400 yard swim and get an 800. There isn't really any prerace announcements guiding people to the start and telling them things to be aware of. The timing was screwed up. It seems that less and less of the local folks are doing the race. Its a shame. The founder of the race and part owner of the bar is a great guy and has the best intentions, but the folks running the race need some guidance.

Comments: 13th Year doing this race - always my favorite (until this year). But hard to fault the race because I performed poorly, 11 minutes slower than prior year. Great post race food, with live music, and great Red Solo Cup Trophies. One disapppointment was the swim was advertised as 1/4 mile some places (which it was supposed to be in the past), but upon arriving race day find out it is 1/2 mile. Some racers said they saw it somewhere, but both distances were listed depending on where you looked
