Comments: This is a local race with a lot of mountain and hybrid bikes. So I saw things that I'd not seen before.
1) One guy walked the swim in the shallow end -- on every lap.
2) One woman shorted her ride. I was just starting my 2nd lap, and I heard her yell out, "This is my last lap." I looked at her number, not that far from mine, and thought "No way." She did pass me, but she wasn't going THAT fast. I think it was all sorted out. Getting the results took a very long time and a few people were called in to talk to the race officials.
3) One woman had a friend pace her on the run.
4) Lawn chairs in transition.
