Comments: after reading the comments on this event, i feel compelled to post an alternate perspective on the experience. for context, this was only the 2nd tri i have ever competed in, the first being 5+ years ago.
starting time: i participated in the super-sprint event. according the starting schedules which were posted in the packet pickup/registration area the night before the event, my distance would be the last to start, scheduled for 7:15AM. while i don't know the exact time we were sent into the water, i exited the water at 7:22, and my swim took me just over 6 minutes. this puts the starting time somewhere between 7:15-6. i'm not sure how the other distances could have started 20 minutes late as reported...as they all went before me, the first being sent off at 7:03, just after the adventure race began, and as scheduled. we (super-sprint) were the last in the water...and we were sent right on time.
bike course markings: the super-sprint and sprint distances shared the same
