  • Comments: Race start was a cluster. When I signed up, start time was listed as 7AM. No mention of any changes at packet pickup. When I looked on liken before going to bed the night before, start had been changed to 6:15. When I got to the site, it had been changed to 6:30. No one lined up in numerical order to start the swim. No one was telling people to line up orderly. I was #363, but didn’t get in the water until almost 25 min after the first person started. The bike had generally poor pavement throughout with multiple turns and intersections where there were no police to direct traffic. I didn’t see any issues, but there could’ve been some. The race site for the swim and run were nice, but the ride was tough. If this was a dress rehearsal for the 1/2IM in Oct, there is lots to improve on- more buoys to help with sighting, better traffic control, sweep gravel off road shoulders.
