  • Comments: There were not NEARLY enough porta-potties. I got in line at 6:00 and it took me until 5 minutes before the first wave, (mine) was to go off at 6:30 to get in. I hurried my business, not completely finishing things, (I think I gave myself a hemorrhoid rushing it) then ran to get my wetsuit, ran back to the start, had to work my way through the crowd of later waves waiting around, (missed all of the orientation) swam out towards start, just as the horn sounded. They needed a lot more porta-potties for 720+ athletes. (and their families and friends) There were 8 at the end near the start and another set (the same amount?) at the other end where the line was even longer.

  • Comments: Great race! This was the perfect way for me to finish my second season of triathlon. I have a lot of confidence to carry me into next year. I am very proud of the step I took from sprint races to my first olympic. I see so many changes in myself. I look at myself in a whole new light now. Towards the end of the run, I was looking at the people around me and marveling at how athletic they were, then I started thinking, I am right there with these people. What a great feeling. I loved the olympic distance experience as well. I think that maybe once I do my first IM, I might just keep doing these races as they are both fun and they give you more of a feeling of accomplishment.
