Cypress Gardens

Though about doing it this year, did it last year.... Opted to do Suncoast again instead... good luck, watch out for motorists on the bike... heard one guy got hit, cars share the roadway, no lanes closed, intersections have a police presence though to stop traffic....

The race was very nice. The swim felt long and so was t1 but overall it was a good day for a race.

I was there as an observer.  The swim did look a bit on the long side.  I think the first person out was done in 10 minutes according to my time(calculated by looking at my cell phone) so based on time it was long.

I thought it was a good race. Glad I was not the only one that thought the swim was long. It took me 2x as long to get to T1 than any other race I did this year. The bike course was ok, traffic was not to much trouble. I did have to almost stop to let a firetruck turn but he waived me through as I was locking up the brakes. Id like to see the run spend a little more time in the park and less in the parking lot. They have plenty of room to loop us around back there by the garden section. I would go back and do it again.
