Comments: This is a lovely race, perfect for new-comers to the sport or uncertain swimmers, or as a low-key tuneup race for anyone. It's an open water swim without the distractions of chop, motorboats, or cold water. The bike, although hilly, is unusually short; and the run, except for that dam thing, is pretty easy and nice. It's small, mostly local, & very friendly; and the well-supported kids' race is an important part of the day's attracations. Recommended.
I was pretty happy with my race, which showed considerable improvement over 2 years ago. I was especially happy that my place in the entire group was nicely balanced among the 3 sports. The fact that my run was the best in this regard tells me that my pacing is improving.
