Comments: The location of the course is beautiful. Swim in the Marina (I think there is a view of SF but I didn't really look), then bike and run with views of San Francisco. The breeze was light for the course so it should have been a perfect day. The volunteers were numerous and very energetic.. It was also nice to see the enthusiasm of the college teams.
However, the organization left something to be desired. I had issues with transition opening 45-50 minutes late, lack of clarity on the website, not being able to warm up, and not being sure what the course was for the bike ride. This combined with lack of real announcements before the race (such as, do 3 bike loops this way and 2 run loops this way). Lastly, Berkeley apparently messed up and didn't do traffic warnings or anything.
I exchanged emails with the race director, who is a volunteer. The delays were apparently caused by USTA wanting things done different for the draft legal race and that had a snowball effect on timing. The
