Overall course based on my ability: Just right

Comments: This race had the most volunteers I have ever seen at a race. It was very good to see them out there. They cheered you on which helps keeping you going. The course was good, after race was good too. Some reason they merged the competitive and age groupers together in the standings after the race was over, which is weird.

Comments: I think they had vegetarian food, but I wasn't hungry. Could be a fast course, but the bike is too short for me to consider this a PR.

Comments: Race directors should get the distances right. An olympic should be 1.5k, 40k, 10k. 40k is 24.8 miles, not under 23.

Comments: Over all the RACE was very well run. tons of volunteers. I think that might have been the best managed bike course i have been on, that is not a closed course. However the confusion about awards and giving wrong awards to wrong people is inexcusable. take the time to get it right the first time. and when you screw up go get it fixed right and not screw it up the second time also. This is the first time i did well enough to think i deserved an award. I saw not a single person in my age group pass me. I am confident that most if not all will not beat me out of the water, so if i see you pass me on the bike or the run, then i can count my places. then to give out age group awards to Elite entries, and then a 3rd place award to someone that was not even in my age group, was very disappointing. Then when the results are finally posted, later that evening, i find out i was third..... that got me a little fired up. Oh well a little training motivation i guess.

Comments: I enjoyed the race. I would like to see something big on the beach for me to aim for. This is a big improvement over my 2010 lifetime Oly where I ate a burrito the night before and cramped on the swim. Fun to see people I know out there and competitors and volunteers were very positive.
