I am planning on it, this is my first tri, although I haven't registered yet.  The worst I have heard was coming out of the water at low tide, friend said was very muddy and gross.  They say it's at high tide this year.

I am thinking a small jug of water to rinse the mud off....

I plan on doing this one, and actually it is my first tri. I was down in the area of the race this weekend, the first hill is long!!! Good luck to all.

The description of the bike course says:
It is very flat, there is only one real hill at the beginning going up Jamboree.

Guess I just assumed it was a pretty gradual hill since they mention the bike course being "very flat".

It is not as flat as they say, the first hill is Jamboree and then a couple shorter hills mixed in, the good part is Jamboree is only once!!! then you go down it plenty of time to catch your breath for the run.
The run is pretty flat nice scenery. Good luck.
