Comments: First Aqua Bike event for DuTriRun! Well organized overall, with traffic and athletes routed nicely. Walked very rocky-bottomed first 0.1 mile starting leg to first orange buoy. Final 0.3 mile leg of swim course was directly into the sun, unable to see finish arch. Occasionally very bumpy bike course with rolling hills. Bike course had excellent traffic control by officers and clear directional flagging by volunteers, with three refill/aid stations, (water, gatorade & GU), along the way. However, most bike course corners had sand/gravel which is tough for athletes pacing 20+ mph. Very good post-race food offerings plus really nice medals and trophies! Will have to do more hill training in preparation for competing next year!
