Does anyone have any input on the swim, bike, and run portions of this upcoming race?

I've done the duathlon a few times (same bike and run). The bike is very flat, but does have a couple of turns (one comes to mind that is right after a short downhill and completely hidden) where you can make up quite a bit of time, if you pre-ride the coarse (evening of the day before is perfect as it is always marked by then). The run was on a combination of trails, asphalt and very sandy sections (cramp warning!), but flat.

Swim portion is in the lake and from what I hear, the marking is somewhat less then perfect, so pay attention

Thanks for the feedback.  I'm scheduled to do this race in a few weeks. 

Would love to hear from anyone else who might be contemplating doing this race, have done it in the past or who is scheduled to race.
