• Comments: Timing was a big issue for me. I was a little frustrated that my times were so off. I had a bad feeling about my chip coming across the T1 mat and not hearing a audible beep. The race officals were helpful and we able to locate my times eventually but as you can see they were pretty screwed up. Oh well. A great first timer race. I enjoyed this race and would consider doing it again because it wasn't over priced race. This race has the potential to be a disaster if the winds pick up. I didn't feel real challenged during this race but for a first time around I was pleased with my performance and it gave me an opportunity to transition and get the feel of a triathlon.

• Comments: Flat course would make this a good choice for first international distance next year. Soft sand finish is not my favorite and there was a loose sand spot right in the chute where I saw several people stumble.
