  • Comments: The following was sent by the RD to participants after the race: "Due to the "unusual high tide," the timing mats getting wet, and the timing van sinking in the ocean, some of the results are not quite right....All in all, besides the horrible water conditions, the high-tide-soft-sand run, the sprinkler system wetting down the bike course, the PA system not working inside the tent, the results not getting posted and having to mail out the awards" I'd hate to pay for this race next year, but its personal now...I'll prob do the race again, and next time it's payback time!!!

The post race festivities were weird. The food was not that great, it was basically breakfast food and some muffins. The awards were given out in random fashion as in the guy would literally pick someone out of the crowd and give out free stuff. They were taking forever to tabulate results so my bro and I decided to just leave and beat the traffic rush. The race was fun though and it was a real learning experience. It was very challenging but I don't think it was beyond my abilities in any way. The swim was definitely really hard and I wasn't prepared for it in any way, but the rest of the race was just fine. The mistakes and areas for improvement were
