• Comments: The transition area was the worst set-up I've seen. A lot of places you couldn't even rack your bike and it was extremely crowded. It was also an extremely long transition area. Though, other than putting the fence too close to the A-frames and not clearing the transition area pre-race, the race directors did the best with what they could for the location. The swim was great, really smart to do the wade start with the rocky beach. The bike course was difficult but enjoyable. It was well marked with aid stations at the right spots and people wathing the right intersections. The run was good, but the finishing stretch was loose sand and rocks. Other than trying not to roll an ankle, it was frustrating to try and sprint to the end. The volunteers were great and post race activities were very good.

• Comments: Nutrition on this race I had placed two gus on the bike and had two gus in my tri top and one big bottle of high concentrate Gatorade in transition. I only had one gu on the bike and one gu on the run and a protein bar just before the swim, it seemed about right. Hydration was a the aero bottle and a frozen bottle on the down tube plus a frozen bottle in transition for the run.

• Comments: This was my first Rage in the Sage, second BBSC race. They do a good job. I wouldn't mind doing this race again with traiditonal temps of 80 degrees.
